Chris suggestst a toe adjust only. This is normally what you need, however in this case you are trying to find out if your car is straight! I would find a shop that has a high quality modern alignmen

If you are going to have a thrust alignment done you should wait until you get the rear bushings replaced as this will probably affect the setting. A thrust alignment means that the front wheels are

Instead of just setting the toe-in on the front wheels. Optical devices are clamped to the front and rear wheels these send information to a computer that tells it when each front wheel is parrallel

[...] As I understand it, the only way that crabbing is going to be corrected is if you can change the rear suspension toe (to get the rear wheels parallel to the front wheels). Which you cannot easi
