this sounds right, i got this for £107. with £25 per adjustment and they adjusted the toe on the rear to get thrust to zero.

This was on a hunter system. But the price this chap quotes included track rod ends fitting.

I’ve just had my C30’s alignment done on a Hunter system.

I was worried about a constant droning which seemed to be coming from the rear. Initially, I suspected a wheel bearing but my local Volvo specialist confirmed it was the rear tyres. They’d gone out of round and had noticeable wear to the inner shoulders.

So, a trip to replace those and an early opportunity to fit Goodyear All-Seasons tyres on all four corners.

I paid £60 for the alignment, including adjustment.

This can also be reduced / stopped by using Eco tyre pressures.
Stopped it on my V50
