[W126 Coupe] Self leveling and alingment

[Ernie Stephens]

Hey Jonathan,
I have not had the wheels removed for closer inspection but I have had the car raised to see if there was any movement; the wheels seem tight and solid.  I'm taking it over to a foreign service shop at 1:00 PM MST and I'll suggest looking at the bearings again.
Thanks,
Ernie

  did you check the rear wheel bearing?  

  SLS won't affect alignment of the rear wheel...

  Your bushings couldbe utterly thrashed....

    Does anyone know if the self leveling system could affect the alignment?  My right rear wheel is visibly out of camber; the car is lowered in the front and this might be part, if not all, of the problem aligning all of the wheels.  The dealer wouldn't tell me what it would cost to check out the leveling system . . .does anyone know what I should expect on an 87 560 SEC with 210k?
