Harsh ride and car move to the right

Hello I have cl500 2002 with 145,000 km my car ride not smoth I changed ball joints and lower arm both side , I don’t have any noises
tires and rims I have amg 19 for glk 2013 , also car pulls to the right when hitting a bump what’s the reason ? i’m Really confused is it because this car have strutmaster kit coil over?? Or something else need to be replace , or maybe the rims please guys need an advice thank you

you probably broke of inside from arms
so your camber moves now
here is how it works
if you broke of the inside of your arms because you did not use a manual you can trash all of them
not possible to repair

if not, just get yourself a alignment in a garage



2 arms each side have these adjustments
2 sorts of bolts possible

Lucky you
Just about swapping 2 pairs for testing new mods

so here a broken of example:
had that in stock




now here a new one:



now here a Camber/Caster Bolt
and a NON-Camber/Caster Bolt



if you don't 100% hold the camber/caster version bolt when tightening, YOU BREAK OFF the bits in arm


and here a pair of S600 (for sway bar MOD)
the other two alignment arms
and 1 OEM non sway bar W215 ABC version

they all have these ajustments



so you see what you probably messed up

NOTE: the S600 non ABC version unfortunately has the lower suspension mount more outside. that causes more stress on that supporting joint and gets used earlier
you can not use a camber/caster version bolt to ajust that as you will end up with tires in V position
and you also loose a 1 or 2 kg on the suspension
so you front 12kg spring goes to 10-11 but don't worry, it works fine

no too bad news
you undertand that if to tighten well, they rotate and destroy the inside keeping the bolt in the middle
you should check all 4 arms make sure the bolt keeps centered
if not you can repair with pieces of pipe like i show in the threat I just updated

in that case tires v position will eat from the side tire I don’t think going to use sway bar mode cuz I’m about to sell car still in good shape 145 km I know going to cry after selling it but I have to do it thank you so much really appreciate it I will check them and update you soon thank you
