Unhappy Alignment - C32

Hello. I'm new to this board but I have found it both helpful and entertaining. I'm a proud owner of a C32 but I've been experiencing an alignment problem. The car pulls to the right. The mechanics at the dealership say that the computer states that the alignment is correct but then they notice a slight pull themselves when they test drive it. Has anyone else with a C32 experienced this problem? I noticed on the E-class board that several people had a similar problem with the E-55.
Thanks.

Mine C32 had the same problem. You need to have caster redone with new bolt kit. See my post on C32life.com. I do not have the part numbers in front of me now.

Does anyone know if this has been a problem on any other C Class cars?

Thanks for the advice on the caster bolts; unfortunately, that is what the dealer did to repair the right pull, but it hasn't worked. Car is still pulling right, although computer printout of alignment says it is perfectly aligned and should go straight. Tire pressure was okay, too.

Dealer is going to have tires removed and swapped left to right to try to find a possible tire problem. Doesn't sound promising to me. Very frustrating for a C32 with less than 800 miles!!
