They are saying just the Caster is out of line. They got the Toe and Camber fine, but they don't have the adjuster nuts on the control arm so I guess its too difficult for them to do the caster adjustment... I didn't change anything. I DID put on a new upper control arm/ball joint, lower ball joint, and inner and outer tie rods but everything is OEM spec.

I am going to do the caster myself. I can't stand this anymore. I am going to get a magnetic angle gauge, and just do it myself. It seems pretty damn easy actually(plus I'm not lazy like these guys).

I just don't know what caster angles to go for. Obviously it should be the same on both sides but should I adjust for a 1 degree positive caster or what?

I'm wondering what kind of control arm you installed and the shims were installed correctly. On another forum, the guy bough Monroe shocks for his toyota camry and he was told to buy those camber kits to do the alignment, it turns out those Monroe shocks were not OEM spec (although advertised as OEM and sold very cheap) He ended up replacing with KYB and didn't use the camber adjustment kit.

And the other one for the other side. I originally was going to just push out the ball joint and put in a new one, but I couldn't for the life of me press out the old ball joint. This whole process has been a nightmare. I had to cut the damn lower ball joint out, I couldn't separate it from the knuckle.

Anyway I THINK I got it better. I'm going to go get a free alignment check this weekend and see how it looks. If its really bad still I'm going to the ford dealership or just putting the damn kits in.

Edit: I should also mention that I replaced the shims with the alignment washers after the first shop I went to. Just the cheap washers, not the entire alignment cam kit.
