Slight pull in the steering normal?
Hey! I'm new the Mercedes world. I picked up my 2010 C300 RWD today!
I took it on the highway for the first time and I noticed it very slightly pulls to the left and right.
Maybe I'm just being picky. I used to drive a Mazda so maybe that's the issue LOL. Is this normal?

Benz cars usually pull slightly to the passenger side. (i.e. with the camber of the road) This is offset by dialing in 1 degree more caster on the passenger side. (max 2 deg). Requires fitment of fluted caster & camber bolts. See Wiki.

This is a safety feature that allows for someone to slowly drive off the road if they fall asleep. Mine did the same thing so I took it back to MB and they corrected it. Usually you have to tell them you don't want that.
Keep in mind though alignment is not covered under warranty and it's not cheap from MB
