Baseline everything. 200 1990

Hard to say when you didn't get the car new...lots can cause this.

Bad alignment/worn suspension/squirmy tires, mismatched tires. For example, my 90 740T with Bridgestone 16" tires and lowered/IPD swaybars usually corners neutrally, but I just changed to Dunlop snows on the rear (too lazy to get the fronts down from the attic, they go on tonight!) and the car is slightly squirrelly...turns in fine, but KEEPS turning in on slight curves...evidently the slip angles on the tires are significantly different, enough so I have to UNWIND the steering wheel on normal right angle turns!
