IMO-


You would be better served to find a quality alignment shop (not WallyWorld) and have a THRUST ANGLE alignment performed. The results if not satisfactory will direct you where to start looking for the problem.

On a solid rear axle vehicle, this requires a thrust angle alignment that allows the technician to confirm that all four wheels are "square" with each other. Thrust angle alignments also identify vehicles that would "dog track" going down the road with the rear end offset from the front. If the thrust angle isn't zero on many solid rear axle vehicles, a trip to a frame straightening shop is required to return the rear axle to its original location.

Renumber the stress crack @ the left door latch pillar? It may be a symptom.
