Please Help! Has anybody ever had their CASTER on alignment way off oem specS??
so after I put new wheels on I realized my caster on my alignment is way off because one of my wheels is touching the inside of bumper when I turn? the alignment machine read +6.1 on one side and then +9.1 on passenger side, will a simple Bolt kit for alignment from dealer fix this issue? MB mechanic says if I get bolt kit it wont make much of difference? is this true?
Also my Sunroof came off its track and would not close, my CPO warranty did not cover that specific part so im out $350.00 out of pocket, do these sunroofs typically do that?is it common?

Try another dealer if your dealer insists in charging for sunroof repair. The only justification for sunroof repair is if it was damaged due to abuse.
If you still don't get satisfaction, contact MBUSA in New Jersey.

It's the drop. If it's too low, it will change the suspension geometry beyond the point where the the normal factory adjustments for caster/camber have enough range to compensate. I love the dropped look and I had my 220 on links briefly, but it caused so many ride quality and vibration issues I reversed it.
