#1 Check for unusual tire wear such as excessive inner or outer tread bar wear, cupping, etc, . . .
#2 pay attention to steering feel, . . .do it on a windless day, find a flat road (little or no crown), & see if the car pulls left or right. If it does, . . .this could indicate an alignment problem (or a tire problem)
#3 Take your car to an alignment shop (or dealer) that is well acquainted with MB suspension's.
Be aware of any shop that isn't famaliar with alignment procedures on MB's. They require a specific setup including weights placed in the driver & passenger positions, body tie-downs, etc,... to perform a proper alignment. In my area they charge aprox $125.00 for a 4-wheel alignment.
