Read this guys---warranty surprise issue
Hey guys,
Anyone heard of this?
I went in for my first service last week and my service rep mentioned that since I'm still within the 12mo/12k miles suspension warrenty, I should have the "concentric bolt" replaced with an adjustable bolt. He says mercedes used a fixed type bolt and that when I later need to adjust the camber, this bolt will have to be replaced with an adjustable one, to the tune of $550. So he said I should complain that my car pulls to the right so that they'd be obligated to swap out the bolt under this short 1 year warranty.
Mercedes Benz was apparently cost-cutting here , so many have complained when they have to adust the alignment but are smacked with a $550 bill for this bolt replacement.
Anyway, I agreed, but they weren't able to perform the work because I have aftermarket wheels. I have to return the car with OEM wheels--but I gave mine away. Have any of you heard of this bolt issue? Anyone wanna sell me their wheels?
