06 Aero V6, 17" with four new Bridgestone G019 235/45R/17 tires

The Aero pulled to the right with the old tires. The Aero still pulls to the right with an alignment and new tires. The alignment was done at Firestone (Firestoned). There are three items on the before and after print out that concern me:

1. The vehicle selected indicates 2004-2008: except sport suspension
2. Printout states Saab does not specify front camber and castor adjusts.
3. Cross camber remains out of spec.

Here is the print out of the fronts:

The ones in red are:
Actual Before Specified Range
-1.2 -1.2 -1.3 to -0.3 (Left Camber)
-.5 -.5 -1.3 to -0.3 (Right Camber)
3.0 3.0 2.4 to 3.4 (Left Caster)
3.1 3.1 2.4 to 3.4 (Right Caster)
.12 .14 .10 .18 (Left Toe)
.17 .07 .10 .18 (Right Toe)


Cross Camber -0.7 -.07 .05 .5 (Remains out of range)
Cross Caster -0.2 -0.2, unk, unk
Cross SAI .7 .7, unk, unk
Total Toe .28 .20 .20 to .36

So, advice please. Can Firestone be schooled how to finish this correctly? Or better to cut bait and take her elsewhere? If the Aero doesn't have the sport suspension, then I don't know what model would.
