Dave,

Did you by chance find that the car was running like a coon hound (have you ever seen one run?) while you were driving in a different car behind it? If so, keep in mind that if you look down the driver side of the car from another car's driver seat, it will naturally look like the hind end of the car is kicked to the right... from the factory. The reason for this is that the rear wheel track is an inch or so narrower than that of the front wheels.

If the tires are wearing fine and the car drives straight, all is good. If not, go for replacing the rear suspension bushings.

I went through the "coon hound" investigation in 1998, bushings were fine, it was by design.
