Tire discounters can’t align my Dart.

I dropped of my Swinger on Wednesday for an alignment. Got a call the next day asking what parts my front end came from. They could tell everything was new because I installed all new moog parts and new shocks. Upper control arm came from another dart and the LCA never came off the car. Zero after market parts besides the moog and one caliper. He tells me they can’t get it aligned but they are having someone else work on it the rest of the week. Got a call today and they said it’s as close as they can get. I asked for the numbers and of course they “couldn’t” get them to me after hours. Drove the car 2 miles home and it’s pulling to the right like crazy and I can see the difference in camber. They charged me $150. At this point I’m not taking the car back there but do I ask for my money back for such a trash job or be lucky that after working on it for so long they only charged me $150.

Years ago we used to run into problems aligning the dart's, duster's etc. we found cracks (on the advice of a real oldtimer) around the K member mounting bolt holes, they couldn't be seen until the bolts were removed. it would let the K member move just a degree or 2, for each crack, so it could add up, once we found them, we saw it in a bunch that came through the shop. Just a thought
