Default Alignment question

Got my best price for Michelin Pilot Sport plus online and had Sears price match, plus give me a 10% difference between their price and mine. I was nervous about having Sears install, but the price was great. When it came to the alignment, they told me that they could not correct a .2% caster misalignment and that I would need new struts. They said that there was no way to make an adjustment. HUH?? Is this possible??

Given your car doesn't even have struts, I'm gonna go with no, it's not possible.

I'd try and take it someplace that actually knows what parts the car has on it and what they do.

Kinda of thought they were in over their heads. I'll have to call around today and see who can actually do the correction. Thanks for your help!
