alignment

Hi All - I need to have a wheel alignment on the '55 - some juddering of steering wheel approaching 60mph (checked wheel balances and all ok), and wondered if there are any areas I need to look at replacing before the alignment is done - e.g., suspension arm bushes, etc. I've read about fitting...

Hi Guys, Just wondering if anyone is aware of someone being able to go 4 wheel alignment in the Glasgow area or even outside within a 20 mile radius or so that specifically can do mercs. I had mine done at a very well known alignment specialist but for some reason they struggled...

Where is the best place to get wheel alignment done near Glasgow I used to have my own garage and Balco 4 wheel alignment centre (Snap-On) Back in the day I had to use a pressure bar on the front wheels for Mercs to set them right now looking at Autodata you need the same and a unit to...

Hi Guys. The windows on both sides of my car (W208 convertible MY 2000), strike the metal rail that holds the rubber seal of the rear window when I close the door. I had the door card off this afternoon to see if I could adjust the mechanism, but can't figure out how to do it. There seems to...

Hi Guys!! I currently have a 2006 S500 W221 with the Radar Guided Distronic Plus fitted. It's currently popping up with Distronic Plus Inoperative or Unavailable, one or the other!! It's been on star and everything is working correctly, it just won't activate when I pull the lever!! Apparently...

I have just completed a brake upgrade to my W124 500E. Just in case anyone is interested, I went for the R129 Silver Arrows setup which has 334mm drilled and vented discs at the front and 300mm drilled and vented at the rear. Brembo calipers, OEM Mercedes Silver Arrows but refurbished as...

HI all, I have a 2003 SL500 recently inherited from my late father. I have a concern over the water coming into the boot area (common i know). I have noticed the boot lid does not sit flush with the o/s rear quarter panel by C Pillar when the roof is in the up position but when the roof is...

Just had MOT on SL55 and inside edge of both front tyres are badly worn. Have only done 1200 miles on them since I bought the wheels and tyres and so likely that previous car they were fitted on had the problem. Will need to fit new tyres so to be safe want to get wheel alignment done. Any...

Hi Guys, I've literally just had a prang in my beloved 08 CLK 220 - this after one of the worst weeks of my life with personal and work stuff all seemingly against me :0( (I won't bore you with the detail on those things. All I will say it seems whatever will go wrong has gone wrong. Anyhow I...

Had 2 new rear tyres fitted but car feels almost dangerous now so wondering if theyve balanced them wrong. I know the wheels are out do wanting somewhere reputabke to make sure theyre balanced correctly and then aligned right. Tia Lewis

What's the conventional wisdom on wheel alignment? I've just given my car to BVJ Engineering for alloy refurbishment and to fit new tyres all round (I've supplied the tyres). I've not experienced any pulling to one side and don't recall any uneven tyre pattern wear - should I still take...

Hi All, Car is a 2008 W204 C220 CDI Saloon, 5 speed auto. I got new tyres last week and the dealer replaced the 'diff balancer' under warranty (just looks like a mount behind the rear subframe (which the diff bushes are mounted to)) - stiff component but the bushes were worn so they replaced...

Hi all, I need to get my wheels aligned as having had the tyres changed they're very worn on the Inside and not so much on the outside. Mercedes Benz Brentford have quoted £220 inc vat, does this sound about right to what I should expect to pay? Would Indy tyre places be able to carry out the...

Hi all, I have a few questions regarding the geometry of our Mecs, more specifically cars form 2000+ onwards. As most of you already know, cars that were produced post 2000, only had the ability of adjusting the front and rear 'toe'. The only remedy of rectifying front camber/caster settings...

Hello all, I read somewhere that if one replaces the tie rods (left and right) and the drag link (parts A1243300803, A1243300903 and A1244601205 on my old 300CE-24 Sportline), it is possible to avoid re-aligning the car afterwards. This is done by setting the length of the new parts to...
