Very coincidental that you should post this question at this time, as I was going to post a message on this topic myself.
I just got in the door from spending over 600 bucks (Cdn) at the alignment shop on our 92 960 with Multilink Rear Suspension. At the shops' insistence I had the 4 bushings for the lower inner track link mountings replaed after being told that they were shot and that there was no more adjustment left in them. I also replaced one track rod as it was slightly bent. The result? The rear end still has almost twice the camber it is supposed to have.
The car rides like a dream, and ther is no unusual steering effct or tire wear. It has been like this for a couple of years, so wear should be evident. ther are new Nivomats on teh rear, and they work well.
The only reason I want to get this fixed is because it looks like crap from the back, with the rear wheels cranked out like a micturating female hound.
There must be something else bent, but I can't find it and neither can the shop. the closest Volvo dealer is over 8 hours drive away.
The final specs tonight were: rear total toe 0.29 (specified range is -0.3 to 0.17), left rear camber -2.7, right rear camber -1.3 (JUST in spec).
I have no clue what to do next, but this is getting expensive.
