Mine was done at MB Massapequa... they installed the Caster/Camber kit & did an alignment 3/08, and all is perfect.

Was this covered on your warranty? Also, what were the symptoms that caused you to take the car in for service?

Alignment is covered for the 1st year. At 1 year and 1 month, my car started pulling to the right. I noticed I definitely had to hold the wheel a bit to the left to go straight. The alignment & kit solved the problem.

I wish it were covered, but I was a month late. It wasn't an outrageous charge though.

FYI

MBUSA covers alignment, road-force balancing, and brakes (i.e. pads, rotors, squeal, etc.) for 12 months/12000 miles from delivery date whichever comes first.

I had mine aligned at a good local tire shop after TWO dealers, Ray Catena, Millenium, screwed up the alignment. That was two years ago and the tires look fine. my point is alignment can be done at any good tire shop. They do more alignment than most MB dealers on any given day. The important thing to remember is that the alignment equipment needs to be calibrated periodically. If this is not done, the alignment is off even when the print out numbers are within spec, the local tire shop told me.

Gentleman, Thank You for your replies. I just came back from MB of Massapequa. They lowered the car originally, and said now that are able to do the alignment. A couple of other shops couldn't get it right, it would always pull to the left. I found out that the car is suppose to be half a degree higher on one side than the other, depending which way it is pulling.
