Well good news! I dropped the 420SEL off the jack stands last night and the alignment was acceptable enough to take to the dealership.
When I dis-assembled the entire thing I left the tie rods alone, just taking off the steering arms. So i think that helped keep things together.
The only issue I had was the camber was off a little, probably castor as well. Steering was OK. "Center" was at about 2 o'clock somehow but when the wheel was "centered" the car drove straight and I had no problems controlling it over the 10 mile journey.
Eh when it comes to alignment I plainly don't care enough to do it myself. I've no problem paying someone to do a proper job on it.
