Correct alignment on the W124 REQUIRES that the front wheels be spread by a spring tool at the front while the alignment is being done. If not, the toe-in cannot be set correctly, and few shops do this other than the dealer or a VERY good tire store (they get to replace tires ruined by incorrect toe-in).

Have the alignment done again, after making sure the shop has the correct tools.

Incorrect toe-in will make the car blow all over the road, and "dart" from side to side in slippery conditions like the 280 SE is doing since I replace the upper control arm bushing.
