OK, so drove my new 91 2.5 turbo today and its squirly on the highway.
I do remember when I used to own this car it was that way but not as
bad. What all should I be replacing? Seems marshall has said this is
caused by the rear links? True? Do the links themselves need to be
replaced,
Bushings only come in the linksnot big dollars but a pain to replace. Do
the subframe stuff while you're there.

You're best off doing all the links whilst there but I just feel that doing
the subframe bushings with the threaded rod Rube Goldberg thing is
tough..actually, seating them back in is tough.
I passed it off to a pro.
Got a good deal to let them do it all.

Rear links, bushing on the spring links, and subframe mounts in the
back -- any or all will cause wheel deflections that cause rear
steer, decidedly unpleasant. Bushings are intergral to the links
(vulcanized in place) and provide part of the spring for the rear
suspension. I've seen some

Can you tell if the squirrels live in the front or the rear?
I've been told that you can kind of tell, especially with experience.
Also could have loose front pieces, like tie rods, steering idler,
steering shock.

Jack and support, with suspension hanging free. Unbolt links (three
are easy, the tie rods are a big PITA), install new bolts from the 210
chassis with fitting sleeves (new bolts are thinner), jack suspension
level, tighten bolts -- the links must be free when you jack the
suspension up, the
I think Hans or someone else wrote up the process for the rear
subframe mount replacement a while back. I seem to remember wood
blocks and the weight of the car to push the new ones in.
Subframe bushings require dropping the subframe one side at a time and
making a tool to pull the old mounts

I knew which it was when cornering and then hitting an expansion joint in
the road.
The back end would wiggle but it felt like the tires were preventing more
than a wiggle from happening.

I did it on the 126. Not much to it using the floorjack. The big PITA are
the two long bolts. I used a thriftpin to feel the alignment and a crowbar
to get there.

Yes and for sure I can report that take really bad links, then do the
stomp on accelerator to pass, and the rear will *dance* sideways.
Very disconcerting, leads directly to fixing that issue ( 89 300TE)
