So do I choose equipment over technician? There is also a major price difference.

Hi,
Go with the equipment! Experience counts for a lot, but the Mechanic can only speculate what's going on while the Machine will actually show you. Also, the Machine can make the necessary adjustment with a much higher degree of accuracy.
But, realize there may be a variety of things contributing all at once to the issue. It could be Wheel Bearings, Worn Bushings, Alignment, Tire Pressure, a
slightly bent suspension member (just hitting a PotHole or Curb can cause this)even a sticky Brake Caliper. But, the highest likelyhood is that it's the Tires/Wheels, so this is the best place to start. Hopefully, that cures it. If not, at least you've eliminated it from the list of possibilities...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
