<< Where you go is important.  For some reason, the cheaper alignemnt shops
 NEVER get it right (e.g., $129 for lifetime 4 wheel alignment).  The
 dealer in Marin always gets it right.  ($185 per 4 wheel alignment).
 The vw dealer tells me that 90% of their time is spent properly setting
 the bus up on the rack and taking measurements.

Are you kidding...you spend 129 bucks to have your van aligned....mine costs
me 45 bucks and it is perfect.  I go to tires and wheels out in Granby
CT...they called VW to get the right specs for the syncro and they did it to
the right specs and not the ones in there computer.  They do a great job and I
would reccomend them over any 129 dollar place.  Sorry if that sounds rude but
it sounds like you spend too much on an alignment.
