Default ha, np buddy... i can truely appreciate your train of thought though...

dropping a grand in parts on a car will make pretty much anyone want it to go their way for a while I esp thought that last year when I dropped $1000-$1500 on parts and maintenance items on my car.

Default depends on what kinda bumps ya hit I'd think ;)

I've found my cocked in a way such as Nate described w/o ever touching them... so guess it just matters how the suspension articulates? Couldn't tell ya to be sure, but what have ya.

Default Fix it yourself like Justin said 'cause if you go back to the dealer...

the reality is they're going to think your nuts.

That normally happens when they tighten up the tie rods. They probably just gave 'em a yank to make sure they were tight.

Because it doesn't really effect anything they're going to brand you as a noob

It's the same old story. People do sloppy work because it's not their car or they don't know.
