My car does the same thing only I know my culprit, have the replacement =
parts, just haven't had the time. My problem is the rear control arm. =
I've had some body folks look at the car and aside from putting it on a =
frame machine, they all say the boddy appears stright. However, the =
rear control arm is noticably screwed. I got lucky and picked one up =
from brett (Hitman) at Cincy thats straight. I would look at the =
control arm first and if you can't notice any problems with it, take it =
to a body shop or somewhere with a frame machine if you have the $$ to =
have it checked out. Do you have any kind of un-even tread ware on the =
rear tires? Thats always a good indicator that somethings not right.

Subject: holy funky weird frame problem!?
Hey all- A friend was following behind my Rocco('83 8V), because I =
feared I had smoke coming out of the exhaust. No smoke, but he did say =
that my car was driving funny. Like driving sideways yet straight, he =
could see the front drivers tire, both rears, but not the front =
passenger tire, even when he weaved over to try. He said it was very =
noticeable. Basically, though I've never noticed for the year I've had =
the car, he said my tires were like so:
II II
II II <now that is exaggeratted ofcourse, but you get the =
picture. What can I do? how can I test to see if this actually is a =
problem? My car was aligned about 2,000 miles ago, and I don't do =
spirited driving so I doubt front alignment is my problem. The car =
appears to have the original paint job, and no visible body damage past =
or present. How can I correct this problem!? Thanks so much in =
advance-
Rob
