92 500SL allignment problem

I have had my wheels and tires (16" ) alligned 4 times and nobody can get it right. The vehicle pulls to the right. I have fairly new michelin pilots on the wheels. Any ideas?

Is it (it is) possible that you have a disk caliper dragging?

Check tire pressure and balance first.If that doesn't solve the problem have your MB mechanic check the upper rubber strut supports on the front.They are crucial to your suspension,ride quality,and shock absorber function.If your dealer can't assist you the go to a good reputable independant Porsche or MB repair facility.We have about 6 or 8 here in the Dallas-Ft Worth area.
