89 240DL doin the crab
89 240DL wagon- straight, rust free, NO evidence of ever being in an accident- drove behind it the other day and the front (left) doesnt track behind the rear. Doing the crab. What should I look for in an alignment facility, Or is there something specific to investigate? After new rear shocks (last night) rides well. I wonder why it crabs like this. Anyone? Thanks! Dave

I think bad bushings would be noticeable by getting under there and looking around -- jackstand support as you said.
Especially the track bar, sometimes called the track rod or panhard rod. It's supposed to center the differential. When lowered springs are installed or when the original springs start sagging sometimes the track rod no longer can track. So it could be sagging springs or bad bushings on the track bar. Often an adjustable track bar is installed after lowering springs.
Post back with what you find out.
