Look for any leakage from the dampers - a bad damper will cause the car to wallow on the springs.

If they look good, it sounds like a bad alignment to me. Any decent alignment shop should print and deliver to you before and after specs. If everything looks tight and the tires are on correctly and inflated correctly, obvious next step is a re-alignment, and make sure the specs are identical or as close as possible side to side.

I think it has something to do with your tires. Overinflation, underinflation, uneven inflation or treadwear or possibly one or more bad tires that may not be visually detectable. Add a pair of new SO2's and I think your problem may go away.

Does your Les Schwab only do toe adjustments for alignment, or do they also do caster/camber? I'm almost willing to bet they just aligned your toe and your cambers off.

@ Haulin' S

I'm curious to know how this turned out. Did you find a solution to your problem?

Tie rods are loose i would assume. Hard to diagnose something like that on the internet. Get it checked out
