Mercedes S550 4matic
2008 S550
Good morning
yesterday I noticed my passenger front tire was straight but the left front was slightly turned in. You I have a bad axle or is it because I got both control arms done?

After control arm installation an alignment is required. A fast and quick shop incorrectly does not perform this step. If this was not done, I would worry over whether any bushings were clocked and torque specs observed. If it was DIY, search this thread for very good information. A properly maintained S class is one of the finest cars in the World. An abused one could eat your wallet alive.
