Just bought a 96 850 with approx 135K. Vehicle had a lower left control arm replaced before I bought. After purchase noticed steering would pull left/right when in sweeping right or left turns. Had front end align'd, both front shock tower rubbers replaced also. Waiting on ABS control unit to arrive as last idea on why veh still pulls left/right when in turn. Anybody thinks because the ABS unit is bad, the wheel sensors are playing games?

Maybe have someone follow you to check if the car tracks properly or if the rear is shifted over left/right? The A arm ball joints could be bad. My left one wore out due to a split boot and it shifted the rear over to the right.

ABS will not do that for you. A rear end out of alignment can. Or the front alignment was done poorly.
