    4 Wheels alignment recommendation near Chelmsford, Essex

    Still very sore.... I was deriving on a long sweeping bend but due to the trees and bushes the forward view was limited. The combine harvester took all of it's side of the road and half on mine. Without warning i hit it head on. The car was so twisted none of the doors would open so i had to get...

    W211 Rear toe adjustment

    That's the adjuster, but you don't need to remove the bolts. The lock nut is a toques bit and then the adjuster is 21mm if i recall.

    Definative explination.... Pull left

    The air suspension trim height is measured via the angle of the front wishbones and driveshafts. Once the datum is dialled in the target datum is displays accordingly. The datum MB offer has never been a problem, the actual issue is the symmetry. The issue is MB say our cars are a perfect build...

    Definative explination.... Pull left

    That was poor advice... It's like buying one shoe. Over time the coils sag meaning the coil rate also changes. If you look at the car can you see it leaning to one side?

    Definative explination.... Pull left

    Did you replace both springs.... If no measure the body height across the axle just in case they had fitted the wrong rate of coil?

    Tracking on my e220 amg

    Critical information would be the Castor angle, but they haven't measured it. Typical error by many companies but without knowing the Castor position the report is worthless.

    Wheel alignment w205

    Put your postcode into this site www.alignmycar.com ..... This will find the nearest place to you that uses a machine best suited to the MB. Actual understanding of their information it displays is another thing. I will however give them a call personally for you to see if they know what needs...

    Geometry checking - depth of tread important?

    Good question and often asked over many forums. First point is the chassis can influence the tyres but the tyres cannot influence the chassis. In the event a car comes to us and it needs tyres then I'll measure/ adjust before the tyres are fitted? This has nothing to do with the tyres, it's the...

    When is Low too Low !!??

    There isn't any camber bolts for the rear sadly. Historically you can afford more rear camber on lowering coils because the rate will be higher, meaning the dynamics will be less fluid. My immediate concern is the damper stroke. Fitting pads is fine assuming the after market dampers have enough...

    When is Low too Low !!??

    The rake does look wrong. Historically the rear should be +10mm compared to the front. If the rear is down like it is the CG and what's called the polar centre moment of inertia is retarded and although the car may feel like it's handling well it could be better.

    MB we have a problem... Run-Flat Tyres......RFT

    The £400 price wasn't literal. A rear RFT on a GTR costs £600. Point is the cost -V- mileage just isn't right and the type of wear is down-right dangerous.

    Pirelli P-Zero's on an E63

    I didn't know that so thanks for the reply. Tyres nowadays are marque specific it's hard to stay aware of specific evolutions but education from members in the know is a valuable finger on the pulse and a welcomed addition.

    Pirelli P-Zero's on an E63

    To be honest they are exemplary on the right car. Nearly all the Ferraris's run on the Zero including the 40, 50 and 60, but if an MB owner asked for them I would question the request..

    MB we have a problem... Run-Flat Tyres......RFT

    Also I think it's only fair to add, I bought my wife a BMW purely because of the RFT's?..... She is disabled so the RFT does have it's place on the planet despite how much I dislike them.

    MB we have a problem... Run-Flat Tyres......RFT

    Point to note is within reason the tyre pressure suggested is simply that "a suggestion". Put it this way we both have the same car, I always drive on the motorway, you don't. You have three kids, I don't. I always run near empty on fuel, your's is always full. Given those factors there's no way...

    Pirelli P-Zero's on an E63

    Sometimes the shoe's just don't fit. The P-Zero is not an approved MB fitment. Although the load and speed rating reads fine the internal ply and compound don't necessarily work. Tyres are very much a matter of taste but some are wise to avoid because the build destination ( not size ) is not...
