w220 alignment issue
hi, 01 s500S, 50K miles...got some new kumho ecsta tires.... no known radial pulls, per tire rack. car was going fairly straight i think but after alignment check with new tires, it seems to pull more now... to right.
the shop says that the s class does NOT have a caster adjustment... my left is 9.1deg and right is 8.4deg... they say that , if anything, the right should be 1+ deg over left, to compensate for the road crowning.... that mine is opposite, and that there is no adjustment.
my camber is -0.9 left and -0.8 right, toes set within spec.
anyway, what't the deal here? what's your experiences witih the s class alignment, on w220 chassis...???
