Now that I hadnt thought of. Im not a suspension expert, but Im sure the factory alignment has got to be a "quick, down and dirty" and get them out of there as fast as possible! So that'd make sense that some cars are toed out more than they're supposed to. I didnt realize being toed out will cause the car to be so jumpy... I'll definitely have the tech check the alignment.
