My buddy has an 83 244 Diesel with a weird alignment problem. He’s been driving it for about a year with a constant pull to the left.

Up until now he’s lived with it due to financial restraints. Finally had it checked out at a local Les Schwab & needed new tie-rods.

Fixed the tie-rods & they aligned the front based on the rear axle. I guess this is standard. The pull is just as bad.

Took it back & they said the rear axle is “loose” because bushings are bad, the upper trailer arms are bad, & some bad bushings on the sway bar, & they doubt it’ll eliminate the pull to one side.

I’ve probably got some of the terminology wrong.

Anybody have some experience and/or advice?
Thanks.
