Isn't the problem just wheel alignment?
Ever since I changed my wheels, I've exhibited thse problems... it pulls ever so slightly.

Either that or you've hit one too many pot holes on your right side.

Wheel alignemnts typically go from 60-100 CDN

Pulls right?

I bought my C230 about 2 weeks ago.....on my way home from the dealership I noticed that it was out of alignment and pulling ever so slightly to the right. I took it back the following week ( I live an hour from the dealership) just so they could tell me that yes, it was out of alignment but they don't have a machine that can work on this new a car. Damn the luck. Now I have to either wait or have them take it to an outside business to be repaired. From what I see in these posts....it may be a pattern with the C230?

Otherwise, I LOVE my Benz...it's my first but definetely not my last!

Thats odd that they dont have a machine to do an alignment. Hmm. When I first got my car it was floating around and pulling to the right. I figured it was the tires but I didnt care, I took it in to get aligned. My car was MISSING the CAMBER kit. LOL! They ordered me the parts and installed it. I asked them why was it missing and they said sometimes it happens from the factory. I cant believe it. Well I got my camber kit so my car was aligned. Everyone else who gets their new car get it aligned if it pulls because they could have ALSO FORGOT to install Camber kits on your new C.

I know what you mean. It's rained here a few times since I got the car in August. Thank goodness for the free car washes. Luckily it shouldn't rain again until December.
