I discovered the problem under normal, but loaded conditions on a long trip. I had a blowout and trashed the rear tires. My springs, dampers, bushings, and rear axle were replaced due to out of spec camber. Since then I have had two more sets of springs and dampers and it is still an issue. The sag leads to the alignment problems as you stated. I am searching for ways to fix this.
I can't find airbags that work with coil overs. There are some new options out there but nothing for the 9-5.
The Nivomat self leveling shocks are reported on the 9-5 board to not work so well and cost a fortune to buy and even more to replace the dampers.
The worst thing about all this is it shouldn't be an issue with new parts unless one is trying to exceed the rated load carrying of the vehicle.
