Why does my alignment keeps on going bad?
I've had 3 alignments in the last 2 years. I never hit anything, it just seems to be nice and straight for a few months and gradually it starts to go in all types of directions.
I rotate my tires as suggested and replace them when they go bald.
Is this a sign of bad suspension? I'm replacing all 4 struts in the next week. Is there anything else I should look at that may have caused this alignment problem?

I'm guessing its your hydrolic bushings in the front of your car that have gone bad. My friend is a tech down here at a benz dealer and he replaced all mine under warranty. He told me the hydrolic bushings can dry out and eventually cause the problem of the car going in all kinds of directions, and is a common problem.
If I were you I'd just take it in for warranty and tell the service advisor. I have shaking at highway cruising speeds and the alignments performed have not resolved this issue.

Maybe its because the car was HIT?
Didnt you buy this Crashed? and were looking for USED parts to rebuild it?
Might want to have the car inspected for Frame Damage ..checked via a frame Jig
