Hi i have a ML63 2012 that i am ill with i bought it with warranty then i heard a clunk noise coming from front under heavy acceleration and braking so MB changed rod ends and wishbones since then when i put steering on full lock the tyres seem to drag and make a shudder felt though the car and it is loud i returned with the car 2 times and MB saying its a common thing with the ML as the camber on the wheel under full lock and the low profile tyres cause this to happen they told me they are putting winter tyres on there cars to stop it but it was never there before wishbone change anyway i now need new tyres as my continental MO ones are worn out in 12m and 5k has anyone had similar issues and if it is the tyres what are best for this car ?
Thanks Lee

Sounds more like the wrong size tyres fitted and adjustments are out, did MB do the set up?

Hi MB have had the car in 2 times and done a full track 2 times they told me they all do it and the problem is the Ackerman theory i told them it never did it before change of wishbone and they said it was doing it now because the front end is tighter with the correct geometry the tyres are continental cross contact MO 295/35/21 they also told me they are putting winter tyres on there cars that are doing this but i don’t believe them nor do i want winter tyres on.

Right, never had that so somethings not right there.
