Allignment Hell Part III

["Dupree, Robert A." <rdupree@sidley.com>]

    I need to rant...  THe dealership called back and said that in order   
for them to do the rear allignment that they would need to replace all   
rear tie rods, "three-point mounts" and all rear bushings to the tune of   
$2,970.00!!!!  I am so glad that the tech left this on my voice mail   
because I would have reached through the phone line and killed him for   
saying that to me!
    So are they insane?  Could the whole rear end be so shot that it is   
not workable?  What can I do?  Help!
