G55 Pulling to the left. Help!

I have a RHD 2007 G55 with only 17K KM on it and I'm having an issue with the alignment. It was pulling very hard to the left and I had an alignment done after which it was still pulling. I tried to correct this by adjusting the toe manually to compensate for this however my alignment specs could be totally off now.

After adjusting it drives straighter now but the steering wheel is still angled to the left if I let go of it. It still requires some correction to keep it straight.

I've read on the forums of many people having steering and alignment issues with all generations of G's but there doesn't seem to be any definitive answer for why its happening.

I suspect it may be a bent Panhard rod as some people have mentioned but those peoples cars pull right. My car is a Right Hand Drive vehicle. Would my car pull to the left if it were bent?

I tried looking up the part number A4633330301 as people have posted but I can't find this part anywhere nor can my local parts shops. Would anyone with a RHD G care to chime in on this?

Any other people succesfully able to get this truck driving straight?

Thank you,
Justin

I have a 2013 g550 that pulls to whatever side of the road the crown is on. Never could get it fixed...

If you want to post or send your VIN to me by email, I can look up the part for you.

PS - The P/N for the LHD Front Panhard Rod is: A.463.330.07.07

PPS - The only alignment spec you can adjust is toe-in.

Thanks Dutch. Do you have the P/N for a RHD G55? 2007.

Dutch,

I live in Atlanta and today I noticed I am aggressively pulling to the left. I was going to get it aligned but I think it might be more than just an alignment.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Tire pressure? Have you hit any curbs hard? Is this pulling to the left something that came up all of a sudden? How old, how many miles on the truck?

The only alignment adjustment that can be done on a G is toe-in.

My Wagen was in the body shop a few weeks ago, when I got her back, I have a feeling they drove it and perhaps hit a curb. My wheel had a BAD wobble and I ended up buying a new tire.

Truck has 91k miles
