fd alignment issue updated... :(

ok so i was having issues where the steering wheel pointed twards 2-3 o'clock. i had it aligned and it was still there. well i took it back, had another guy do the alignment, i even sat there and watched him. and now i get the car back and im still having the same issue. i have a bad right rear wheel toe link. (bearing is worn). i just bought 2 new rear tires (fronts are fine). and no matter what i cant get the car to align properly. any ideas on what else could be "broken" on my car that i can rule out? im sick of dealing with this ****.

Have you replaced the bad toe link? It won't matter what you do to the front of the car if the rear won't maintain alignment. BOTH ends of the car must be aligned.

no not yet. dont really have an extra 250 laying around waiting to be spent. i think the mounts that the rack are held down to are loose. causing the wheel to become sloppy and sit in different directions. im gonna take a look tomorrow.
