Pulling to the Right
Hey Guys!
My brother is having issue with my CLK500 I sold him. It was pulling pretty significantly to the right. The fronts were worn a bit so he went ahead and replaced them and then went for an alignment as a shop specializing in aftermarket wheels.
The alignment diagnostics came out showing he doesn't need an alignment and it should be running straight. But it definitely still pulls to the right a bit.
What other stuff should I be checking to find out why its pulling? Overall the car seems fine but definitely pulling.
thanks

There are lots of threads about CLKs, and MBs generally, pulling right. So much so that some people believe it is on purpose so that if you fall asleep you do not drift into oncoming traffic. Did you see the alignment printout? Is the camber in factory spec? So many have too much negative camber. The dealer I first went to kept telling me it was tire pull even with two totally different brands - one of which was Michelin. I'm thinking that I have driven for nearly 40 years and never even heard of tire pull. They put on camber bolts and it did not help. I also had ridiculous tire wear on the inside. So I took it to a dealer on the other side of town after getting Continental tires. They told me that the other dealer put the bolts on wrong, they had to cut them out and put on new ones. Car runs on rails now. Zero pull. MB of Westminster for the win, MB of Denver = total fail for a whole lot of reasons.
