Well today I let WIM wave their magic technician over the benz... 3 x castor /camber bolts later... oh my life what a difference... ok so maybe still not the most stable car I have driven but wow... its a different animal to the one I took there.. It will now travel in a straight line without...

Thanks... I would say I have about10mm of play or maybe a bit more... the steering does feel overlight and would benefit from weighting up a bit.... and I did have accelera on the front which I was awaiting an offset answer on before I turned them into proper tyres... I think the cross wind is...

Thanks again... the 20k is mostly motorway over the last 18 months so tread depth is probably better than you think certainly not down to the warning bars yet... although to be fair they are budget tyres fitted by the sales outlet so may not be helping the cause... Mr WIM I am down your way...

Once again looking for advice. ... I tried to get my local indy Merc chap to do a 4 wheel set up. .... he suggested the none merc aftermarket wheels currently fitted had the wrong offset and that it was a waste of time aligning until I had the proper Merc ones..... The local alloy wheel...

Thank you for the reply... They did a 4 wheel lazer dot line up but not sure if the castor position has been checked. I am guessing that would be a good place to start?

Hello people. . I have an '06 E320 CDI estate. I never been 100 percent happy with the feel of it. The steering appears to have little to no feedback or castor action at low speeds with a very vague feel... at high speeds it feels twitchy especially in cross winds. Last wed coming up the m40 in...
