Great info. Thank You

Have you had any experiences with the puling to the right issue?

You're welcome.

Sounds like more of a generic alignment or tire issue. What has already been done to try to resolve the pulling?

Seems like this has been an issue with some 03 and 04 models, especially 209's and 211's. Most have had alignments and some with the "bolt kit". Mine was aligned w/ the kit and is better but still pulls (follows road crown), this seems to be about the same result for most of our members. Most also have suffered premature tire wear including feathering/cupping of the outer edges of the tires.

My 04 CLK 55 pulls to the right just a hair. It's a problem that I can live with. I would try the bolt kit but if that didn't solve RJC's problem I think I will leave well enough alone until some other fix is found

Just keep an eye on tire wear as mentioned above. Also, make sure the pressures are up to spec.
