Default Adjustable ball joints

hi guys

I recently went to the FireStone to adjust my alignment but it says on the result paper that all the right side came out to be "negative."

So, I asked one of techs there about the result and they said I would have to replace 4 adjustable ball joints in order to get it completely fixed.

Does any of you know or experience something like this?

I have been researching about it, and those joints are pricy.

Should i go to a "better" place (like NTB or Honda dealer) to check things up again?

Thanks for your time
and I look forward to reading your opinions!

Have a good day!

Post up the scan of the alignment sheet printout. Has your car ever been in accident or damaged on the suspension?

Post pics if you have the slip. If not, always get them to print you a slip from now on. I learned that from someone a long time ago!

It mostly comes down to finding a more experienced mechanic and not so much the location. Don't rely on dealerships to be any better either. I first scoped out who had the best alignment rack from Hunter, and Goodyear had just installed a roll on unit that was very state of the art and allowed for extremely lowered vehicles. Firestone locations around here are sh*t, in south Texas.
