Guys, I was in the same situation recently.
Fortunately, the alignment tech was experienced in
good customer service.  He asked me to come into the
service bay to see why he could not continue with the
alignment.  The right side control arm bushings were
nasty!  A prior power steering oil leak (previous
owner's fault) had disintegrated those bushings.  Now,
the tech didn't exactly explain the link between bad
bushings and a bad alignment.  But I knew that was the
actual cause of my SE-R's severe wandering.  Well, I
had the hi-pressure power steering hose replaced and
I've got new ES bushings on order. Oh, and the
alignment tech didn't charge me for getting the car up
on the rack.  Yup, I'll be going back there again.
