Car definitely has an "interesting" history looking at the various bits of physical evidence!
Alignment issues manifest as a pull to the left. After this mornings measuring session the main issue seems to be rear toe.
4.5mm (!) toe in LH rear and 0.5mm toe out RH rear. This kicks the rear out to the right giving the apparent leftwards pull. Camber is 2º-ve on left and 0.0º on right.
Camber is no problem to adjust and I have a rudimentary gauge that shows I can get that to 0.5º -ve both sides. This will help the toe but not fully correct it. Road test after the camber adjust shows the pull to be reduced but not gone.
The toe adjustment mechanism (designed by a lunatic presumably) is rusted solid........ Joy. Various of the bushes look a bit weary also. Not sure if these are available separately?
Really needs the whole rear subframe dropping out, dismantling, blasting, painting and reassembly with new bushes. Low probability event that!
