HI I HAVE A MERCEDES W212 AND I HAVE THE FOLOWING PROBLEMS
I’ve been to 10 different places to do the wheel alignment and the car still pulls to the right also the car stays leaned to the left side the difference from the wing to the wheel is of 14mm and there is a knocking sound when I turn fully that comes from the front as i start reversing or driving....I changed the suspension arms the power steering the wheel bearings discs pads lower ball joints shocks springs top mounts the problem is still there also when i drive on motorway the steering wheel wobbles
did anyone had this issues?
thank you

Any history of accidents from the past? Sounds like there is something wrong with a piece of this puzzle outside all of the normal things you have replaced.

Where in the Earth is place where 10 different mechanics can't figure out major issue? House looks good
Sounds like you have airmatic and from what I heard, it allows for 19 mm side to side difference, meaning your 14mm falls within tolerances. That still is adjustable once you find mechanic who knows something about modern cars (lot of other brands have the same or twin airmatic systems)
When suspension vibration can be nightmare to troubleshoot, pulling to the side should be easy to trace.

Have you tried swapping the left and right front tires and seeing if it pulls in the opposite direction? Wheels being bent? Hows the tread life left on the front tires?

You need some better mechanics. Did you have the tires balanced? As someone mentioned earlier, you may have a bent rim. Very common with low profile tires. Also the shocks/springs might not be properly installed. There was an old thread on here with someone who was having trouble adjusting them so that they were the right height on installation.
