sl500

pulls right

I just bought new tires, had them balanced, and front alignment...and my 2005 Sl500 pulls right. The dealer rechecked the balance and alignment, rotated the tires left to right, rechecked the alignment...and my 2005 Sl500 still pulls right.

Off to another tire dealer; they checked the balance, alignment, rotated the tires right to left, rechecked the alignment, rerotated the tires right to left...guess what? Still pulls to the right...although not as bad.

Dealer 2 said could be rear alignment and only mb dealer has special tool to align the rear or could be abs suspension.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks!
