Thanks CHANMADD. I will check that also. It could be possible it went out of adjustment (the top center link).

The problem has just manifested itself after perfect driving for years.

Possible bad shock, or one has worn more than the other. This would translate into more suspension travel on one side with throttle application, and with your suspension type that creates rear steer. Think about the geometry: if you push one side up, with parallel upper and lower links that are both parallel to the ground, the side being pushed up is effectively getting shorter, pulling the axle forward. This is what Jerry is talking about above... lots of crazy stuff going on that is hidden by springs and shocks, until something goes off.

I'll get the car up in the air Wednesday and trouble shoot it one step at a time.

1) I'll start by checking all the rod ends/heims/bushings

2) replace as necessary

3) check the shocks

4) check the sway bar links

5) check all fasteners, replace as necessary and retorque all fasteners

6) remeasure for square/alignment/pinion angle

I'm pretty sure it's one of the urethane bushings as I can see the shoulder of the one on the passenger side is broken /missing and may be causing some side to side play in the lower arm where the forward end attaches to the chassis/frame bracket.

We'll see.
