When I rebuilt the suspension on the 300TD it of course was out of spec, and when I drove it a few miles to the alignment shop it was really nasty like you describe. When I recently did the 300SD I got it "aligned" a bit better when I put it back together so driving to the shop was more tolerable, but it was still prone to that sort of thing. Does that car need front and rear alignment? Maybe you should go ahead and get the front tires then take it to the alignment shop (or the tire shop can do it) and see how that works. Or two kinds of tires fighting each other?"
We moved the better tires to the front and it helped. We had it aligned again and after driving it, the alignment shop determined that the lower control arms were out of whack. The bushings were worn so much that it was immediately out of alignment after driving it a few miles. So, she will be getting new tires and replace the bushings when she gets back home. Donald H.
