URGENT HELP
hey guys. okay so for thanksgiving im driving back home. that is from Irvine Ca to Monterey CA. My problem is that my car is going to the left dramatically during low speed and even at high speed. I had this problem even though i did alignment, but back then it wasnt this bad. However now if i have to drive straight i need to grab the steering wheel crooked. And its getting me worried. Would it be my shocks, suspension or anything that is causing this trouble? help me out guys......

I dont think that it would be your shocks...maybe something in the suspension or your wheel bearings on the side that it is pulling towards. But, instead of guessing it might be worth taking it to the dealer or a mechanic for a small fee and have them diagnose the car. Then you pay the small fee and do the work yourself. This way you know the exact problem instead of guessing. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Sounds to me like your alignment is out of whack. You should go to a decent tire shop and get your front end aligned. May have hit a big pothole or something. Hopefully no suspension components have worn out.

could be the ball joints
You should bring it to mercedes for alignment because they will align to specs
Before you bring it to them get a full tank of gas
For alignment u should always have sandbags in the truck as well as the car sits differently with weight
