Anyone have much experience with this, my car is dog tracking, don't know the exact reason, apparently happened in its previous life. I'm going to take it to a frame shop for evaluation. Can this be reduced without a major undertaking???

Thanks

Look for a bent/dinged lower control arm. When someone goes offroading, the control arm can be damaged and its length will shorten a bit, which will cause the car to dogtrack. I have one car with that defect; the wheelbase was shorter by about a half inch on one side.
