I had it checked at the spring shop, he says he's done hundreds of 'trucks' similar to mine and never had any steering issues. He confirmed the springs are with 1/16", not perfect, but I can live with that.
I don't think the numbers I posted are 'way out', but they are out.
After more thought, I think it's all in the front. The rear thrust problem might make it crab-walk, but I don't think it can cause my issue.
The car has gone back to a better alignment shop, where the front can be inspected again.
