Noel had many good points about oversteer/understeer issues. He wrote:
"If your back end is coming out something is obviously amiss, but it could still be the front end, and since alignments seem to help that's at least a place to start."
No one has addressed the issue that something could be amiss in the rear suspension - indeed the allignment shop may not have even checked this out. A 1991 car is almost 17 years old and many of the rear bushings may have deteriorated. I would take a look at the Panhard Rod, the diagonal rod with a kink in it that connects the rear axle to the body of the car, prevents lateral movement of the axle - and yes, that kink in it is intentional. All the other bushings are suspect as well.
