When I am driving the car tends to pull to the right. If I let my hands up off the steering wheel the car pulls immeaditely to the right.

Does it sound like I need a front end alignment?

yep, probably needs an alignment. any shaking in the steering wheel at high speeds?

Ya a little but not real bad

mines like that too, but you don't need to worry too much. IMO, this is only caused by slightly slanted road surface that can not be judged by our eyes.

Definitely check you tire pressure (32 front, 35 rear). Mine was pulling quite a bit until I corrected pressure. With cooler weather pressure drops, so this correction is required. On my other car, there is not much difference if pressure drops, perhaps it has to do with the low profile tires.

If that does not help, do wheel alignment.

I also used to have a Honda that went into an accident and I had tires changed at the time of repair. Car started to pull right, nothing helped, including alignment. I thought it is from the accident. Then I changed tires a few years later - pull was gone completely. So tires were crappy for sure.

As stated, check the tire pressures... I went to the dealer with the same problem on a BRAND NEW C-350 and they told me the alignment was fine....

I ended up driving on some newly paved roads and realized it was just the crown in the road...

If the stealer will do an alignemnt check for free, I would have it done.

Good luck

Thanks I will check the pressure. I was going to say this morning it felt like the front left tire was loose. When I got out I looked at the tire and it appears to be low. I will fill today and post back.

Thanks

My steering wheel is shaking at high speeds.. i'v done alignment already but still no fix.
what should i do?

Make sure that your wheels and tires are balanced. That would be my next step. You never know when a weight fell off your wheel.

Hey I been told if it starts anywhere near 60 M.P.H. and up thats its your wheel balance. So check or have checked your rims for possible damage but for sure get your wheels balanced...maybe your tires are close to requiring to be changed so ask the shop to check the life of your tire before a balance cause with new tires a balance would get done anyways.

Thanks for the fast replies, you guys are awsome
i'll definitely go do a wheel balance sometimes this week.

tires where low. I added 32 front 35 rear. It helped but did not take it away totally. I will have the dealer take a look and see what they think?

Good luck

Also make sure the car isn't just following the crown in the road.. Try it in multiple areas to make sure its pulling.....

I argued and argued with the stealer, i really did think it was pulling.. Then after they showed me it was in spec, I checked it on some different roads and realized our FL roads suck!

bud4ya

I will try it on a couple different roads the roads are pretty crowned here in NH.

Thanks

Mercedes should not pull on crowned roads. Thats what Model A's did. The cars of today are better than that. Tell your dealer you want a new car to drive like one. Not one 70 years old.

Okay I told my dealer and he said to stop reading stuff on MBworld
