front end problems? 200 1992

posted by  someone claiming to be Dean on  Tue Jun 11 06:42 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I'd be very interested to see what you find to be the problem. I'm having almost the exact same issues with my '83 245. The steering is fine sometimes, but at other times it wants to pull badly to the left.

I'm getting some real bad wear on the outside of the front tires. I took the car into an alignment shop, and they couldn't determine what the problem is with the steering. I had narrower snow tires on this winter and the problem what not as pronounced, but it was still there.

I've replaced all the bushings and shocks within the last 24 months. When I got the car 4 years ago it had bad inner and outer tie rod ends, and I had those replaced too. There isn's any play in the front end when I get down there and pry on things, but something's moving when the car has its weight on it.
