Default alignment measurements?

Can someone give me the alignment measurements for an 89 RS? I took it to the shop and now it darts and nibbles much worse then before...

Front steering parts may be wore out and can not hold alignment, it is 20yr old car. Picture of parts that may require repacement

For your Info the Pitman arm dose not need replacement unless damaged .. . Ball joints are also there and it is only $343. But you can keep trying the front end alignment, but with worn parts the only one making out is the alignment shop. so good luck. The Toe In spec is 3/32".....

Nice!, well I checked the measurement, it seems to be right. I guess the only thing I can point at now is worn out parts

You finally relized that parts do wear out and need replacement, went though all that this Summer. I am the orginal owner and keep my car in tip top shape, but I still can not prevent wear & tear on 22yr old parts.

I would suggest the steering kit from Spohn Performance....Good Quality & Price with one stop shopping for parts that actualy fit a 3rd car.
