Need help steering box? Car out of commission

I had the alignments done at a (classic mechanic) called Tiny's in Ingersoll (first and last time he will ever be used) and a shop in London near Argyle mall but I would have to look up the name (also first and last time it will be used) I had a bad tie rod and I knew that so I counted threads and after a week I noticed uneven tire wear but the car drove fine still and that was why I took it in. The mechanic I usually have do my alignments I quit using because one of the mechanics that work there live up the street from me and just out of the blue yells at me if I am legally parked (even if I am in the car waiting for something) across from his house and when I did my last front end alignment the manager told me that he took the car out for a drive and doesn't like the way the car handles. No idea why he yells at me but I don't want him driving my cars in case he decides he want to wreck something. I checked the whole frond end for play and found one bad upper ball joint and one tie rod before the front end alignments and both were changed by me I usually don't take my cars to shops and when I do I stand next to the mechanics working to watch them but unfortunately long hours are making this hard to do. But at any rate I just bought a fixed up a 99 metro cost me 1100$ but will pay for itself in gas savings (maybe not funeral costs though) so the sedan will be sitting for awhile maybe even a few years but thats the way it goes I guess.
