Hmmmm, might just need an alignment after all...

Thanks man! At the very least, I'm due for another oil change (full-synth) so this'll help!

Tell me if this is true because I read some forum some where that the Firestone Lifetime Alignments are a ripoff because the mechanics only get paid on the first alignment and then the ones after that they have to do it for free. So the rumor is they will not perform as good of a job (if at all) because its free labor to them and not worth their time. I hope this is not true. Does anyone know? Or is this just another awesome mechanic urban legend?

I've always heard of off-road guys being very happy with the service, but I don't know about the logistics inside the company. I have a hard time believing it because of the high turnover rate in most automotive shops. If you need another alignment a year down the road, it's not too likely the original guy that did your alignment is even working there still.

Well, I'm not the type of customer to walk away with a bad alignment and just deal with it... I'll test the ride after each "alignment" they supposedly perform and bring it right back if it still pulls. It'll only hurt their pocket more.
