9k alignment vs. c900

c900 has independent caster, camber and toe for both fronts (rear is fixed). the 9k has toe adjutment only. If a single tire is wearing improperly, something is either bent or worn out. If it is only a toe out of spec, it will wear both tires and there may be a steering wheel offset. Pulling (not just an off center steering wheel) is due to a camber or caster out of spec which would be due to a bent or worn part. I have not been able to get my c900 aligned anywhere except a dealer. Apparently, the shims are different fron GM and not stocked generally. The 9k is similar to other current cars, though the tech may not be on the ball enough to check the ball joint for wear at the time of the alignment. A dealer/indie would be your best bet.
