[V8] Vibration and Alignment

[Jason Wilkerson]

Hey guys,
   I have been watching, but have had nothing to help with lately.  I have
posted on this subject before but, never quite got a definate response.  I
have had an issue with the v8 for some time now, that when I go to get an
alignment they take her out back, spend about ten minutes and say "she
should be fine now" - when in truth she still pulls and wears tires out. 
I have had this happen on 4 occasions with two different shops. 
Everything up front is new, struts, control arms and bushings, and tie rod
ends.  Why can't they get it in line, could the sub-frame mounts cause
this?  I know the car got into a fight with a snow drift before I owned
it, but it tracked fine when I first bought it.  Also, there is a loud
'pop' in some instances at slow speed.  It is not a cv joint, I'm sure,
but rather something that sounds like it is hitting the floorboard. It
only seems to happen when at slow speed with the wheel partially turned
and the suspension is compressed.  I can't find anything loose under the
car, or anything that looks like it is rubbing or hitting the frame, have
you guys ever come across this?  The other thing is vibration, At about 85
it is unbearable, but it is just slightly noticeable at 75.  I know I need
new rear struts, but would that cause a vibration that seems like it is
coming from the front?  I know I also need new front tires but it seems
that this was happening before the tires were worn.  Any input is
appreciated - thanks in advance.

                                Jason
