Alignment Question Please Help
I just put on new tires for my ride and the dealership was asking outstanding prices for alignment, so I took it to the local tire shop. ****'s said they fixed it but it's still pulling right!!! 
I took it back to them and they gave me the specs they adjusted but said Mercedes keeps the specs from them to make people come to the dealership for things like this. My questions is does anyone know the specified ranges????
Camber
Caster
Toe
SAI
Included Angle
Turning Angle Diff
For all four tires???? Please help if you know.

if any consolation, my 55 was pulling right too. a cpo car and asked dealer bought from to fix. they said they did , but to no avail;finally took it to second dealer and they reset the camber-no is straight as an arrow. so, this IS fixable-my dealer (RAB/Marin-awesome group there) had the correct setting as they adjusted it perfect. good luck...

You don't say what year is your car, but it should be the same:

Unless I am mistaken, you can't do an alignment on the E55 without the famous Benz "bolt kit". Some near 200$ waste, but still. Wonder if that shop really did that alignment correctly??
Just my 2 cents.

The suspension should have been designed for more adjustment...my clk needed the camber kit too. Hope he kept his printout and can compare the specs with mine that was done at the dealer.
