Yes, I don't see why a very good wheel joint, that has the right equipment, patience
and knowledge, can't do a good wheel alignment.
Some posters here, rec'd Hunter, some rec'd
Hawk Eye equipment...fwiw.

Some specs, that may be the on the nuts, via the
ol' Search Tab:

Parameter Specification
Front Axle
Total Toe 0degree18'+or-10'
Camber(difference between left/right maximum 30') -12'+or-20'
Toe Angle difference with 20degrees lock on inside wheel(difference between Left/right maximum20') -1degree35'+or-30'
Front Caster(difference between left/right maximum30'):
With+or-10 degree wheel lock 6degree 50'+or-30'
With+or-20degree wheel lock 7degree 06'+or-30'
Front wheel displacement 0degree+or-15'
Maximum Wheel Lock
Inside wheel(approx.) 37degree 06'
Outside wheel(approx.) 31degree 07'
Turning circle(approx.) 12.1 meters(39.7ft)
Rear Axle

Camber(difference between left/right maximum 30') -1degree 50'+or-20'
Geometrical axis deviation 0degree+or-12'

Back at the Alignment Ranch, if they did your C5 well, and you trust them,
give it a go. Somehow I've managed to not feel the need for an alignment,
just because I got new tires, on our '01 X5, or on our '02 VetteVert, but YMMV.
