I have only driven behind my '84 300D a few times before but I was following my wife (she was in the 300D) and I noticed the car appeared to be "crabbing" ever so slightly. By crabbing I mean it appeared to be going down the road sideways, just a bit. I don't remember ever seeing this before.

This was very slight, I would edge slightly left and then right, while driving behind, closely watching the way the car tracked. Maybe my eye needs calibrating but I think I saw what I saw.

I have replaced every piece of rubber in the suspension and the car has been aligned twice since then and the tires are almost bald now. I am very sure that the parts all were installed correctly. The car handles correctly, drives normally, does nothing weird to indicate it is "not right" What exactly could be going on here? Will another alignment fix this? I know for certain that the car has never been hit so the structure should be straight.

Any input appreciated, thanks, RT
