Actually I got two alignments done on the damn thing. First one locally
(Prestige Audi, they ***SUCK**), I was not satisfied with that, so I got it
done independantly afterward. The only thing it really helped was pull, and
steering wheel. Handling problem was still there. My "by eye" alignment (Ok, By
String) was better than the first one I got.

Anyway... new tires didnt help, new alignment didnt help and the diffs arent
locked...
