check over your front suspension to make sure there isnt something damaged that you missed... also check over the rear...
it is possible that they misaligned it the first time... you could also check your toe with a measuring tape while its on the ground...

I'll bet your control arm bushings are hooped. They wont affect the alignment...but I'll bet they are soft and when you accelerate or brake it will shift the front end.
