Back to the shop in the morning!!

Its been a few weeks since I last posted and I have been through alot since then.
-I took the car to pep boys for a free tire and steering check. They told me that the tires needed replaced.
-I bought Hankook V12 Ventus tires
-The vibration was coming bad from the left side still.
-Returned to the shop and they said that the two left tires couldn't be balanced. Front Left had 18 lbs of road force and the Rear Left had 29 lbs of road force.
-I called tire rack and the promptly sent me to replacements
-I had those installed and they were worse then the first ones.
-Now the car would pull HEAVILY to the left when you hit the gas.
-The shop said that it was the tires and the alignment was in spec.
-A called tire rack and worked out a deal to get some Contis and return the Hankooks
-This time I had them delivered to a different shop that had free alignment checks.
-Tires were installed and alignment was found to be off on nearly all areas.
-I returned to the original shop and they checked out the alignment and redid it.
Now the car tracks as straight as an arrow, but still has a pretty noticeable vibration coming from the left side. the vibration seems to be much better and brand new blacktop. What the heck should I be looking for??!?!?!?
