holy funky weird frame problem!?



For your car to crab it pretty much has to be something wrong with the
rear suspension or a badly bent frame.
I'd check the rear beam and trailing arms and, of course, where the rear
suspension mounts to the chassis to make sure it's bolted up tight and
not rusted.
