you need to know what the camber and caster settings were when the car is aligned, then you can say "we set it at 3* but now its at 5*" then you can check the top hats and tension rods and subframe and all the rest.
just saying "oh I think it LOOKS like its out of alignment" doesn't really mean much to me, unless you're a cyborg, in which case, why are you fucking with 240s instead of doing cool cyborg shit???

This.
Go to. Bell Tire or Firestone, pay for a 180 warranty or whatever and get it squared away. CHECK ALL THE TORQUE VALUES with a torque wrench.
Drive the car, recheck the torque values. See if things are loosening up.
Check your hubs. If you have bearings that shot, that's going to make it impossible to get a proper alignment as the whole will is shifting about on the loose bearing.
