99CLK320,
sounds like the camber is out of alignment. has the car been lowered? if so you may need to add adjustable camber bolts to the front end so the camber can be adjusted to the proper alignment.

Its common problem for CLK, espec for lowered ones. I personally like my -3 degree negative camber
. Shame that the tires dont last long...
Camber bolt kits are way expensive..but i have frend who makes them custom for race cars. He said that if id like he could make me a set for 200EUR.

if your wheels just sort of "flop over" that's usually a sign you need to replace your tie-rod assembly, steering damper & lower ball joints, that will really help tighten up most of your front suspension. It will make a world of a difference on an old W208.
