Brad, I had very similar experience w/ daughter's 924S alignment. I had to physically get into guy's tool box to find proper wrenches instead of vicegrips to loosen adjusters ( I had just exp[lained to him that I had just had it apart 1 week prior while I was rebuilding my steering rack, so it was not siezed in any way). I then caught him tightening the adjusters again later using vicegrips again w/out counterholding tierod. He was just vice grip wrenching using the ball joint itself to tighten against. This was at a Sears (formerly NTB) auto center that I had bought tires from in the past. I now do all alignments, exhaust, A/C work, ETC myself as these morons CANNOT be trusted to work on any of my german cars. I am seriously considering picking up a used tire mounting machine and a spin balancer, then I will never have to set foot in one of these shoody shops again!
