HELP with allignment PLEASE!!
Hello all,
Have a 1983 300SD approx. 4 weeks ago it developed a very BAD pull to right (before you ask no potholes, no accidents). Checked all front end parts and noticed teh upper control arm bushings were quite worn. Ordered and replaced bushings, right pull STILL THERE. Now a new development has begun to show, as you go down the highway (say 50-60Mph) and let off the gas a distinctive noticeable jerk/shift to the left occurres before the right pull again takes place. Additionally (and this may be my own impression) the car seem to want to fish tale if more then 10 deg left turn is undertaken. I attributed a lot of this to my new michelin X installed on teh 2 rear wheels, but it is way too weird to blame on the tires. Any ideas or suggestions as to what might have worn and not be redily visible that may cause this? Thanks all for any help or advice. Adriano

The Doc's right. You've got something seriously wrong....Probably in the back. Have it checked ASAP.

Yeah you need to jack the car up or get it on a lift and really inspect the suspension.

Is your life insurance paid up ?
Find out what is wrong Immediately.... those symptoms should not be present in your car..

I'd check your front brakes. Calipers, pads, hoses and rotors.
