Pulling to the left
Hi,
I have a UK 2005 CLS55 AMG which pulls to the left quite badly.
I've had the wheel alignment done twice and all bushes etc checked. Still the problem persists .
Has anyone else had this and figured out what's wrong?
Cheers
Ian

Front caster and uneven rear toe-in can both do that. You can get some adjustment in the front with camber bolts or k-mac bushings. Try swapping your tires to opposite sides first. If that doesn't work, find a skilled alignment guy who knows what a mercedes camber bolt is. I'm also not sure if alignment tools automatically know to compensate for the back end being wider than the front.
After 5 sets of very expensive tires in two years, I gave up and built a wooden jig to do my own alignments. No more problems.
