alignment

Hi all, Was told on the last MOT, that there is a bit of uneven tyre wear on rear of my e270 w211. Never had to get the wheels aligned on a RWD, so not sure if i should get 4 wheel alignment or just the normal wheel balance? Any recommendations near Glasgow would also be appreciated. Thanks...

Hiya all,Such a informative forum with so many Merc experts with wealth of knowledge and experiences.Refreshing & informative. Need to replace the front brakes disc & pads on my c180k sport. Should i stick to original merc ones or is there other makes that can be recOmmended.?Can anyone...

After a quick skim through old posts I couldn't find anything on this, my CE has pulled to the left slightly since I've had it, which doesn't really bother me, however I noticed recently that the steering wheel seems a couple of degrees off center to the right (clockwise), again which doesn't...

I need to get my front wheels aligned, I called into Kwik fit but they cant do alignment on my car, (05 clk). Where else should I look rather than going to a stealership and if I must how much is it likely to cost? Thanks Ryan

Hi Folks, Can anyone recommend a good 4wheel alignment garage in South London ? Many Thanks

Merc are replacing the ball joints on my forthcoming CL under the warranty. Will this affect the wheel alignment and if so will they re-align the wheels under warranty ? Cheers CJ

Wow...Seen some threads on here so we though we'd get some done! Both the BMW and the Merc are running on rails - kind of reminds me of getting my ice hockey boots with a 1/4 grind ;)

Guys - need some tech help!! Just had my a new offside track rod end fitted to my W203 53 plate, unfortnatly the steering wheel doen't quite sit centred, prob 1/4 of a 1/4 turn off to the right, car runs straight, but runs off to the left when wheel is straight. Tried to get the tracking done...

Hi all, Had four new tyres fitted and was given free alignment check, they said it needed doing so I paid them. After that the steering wheel was about 30 degrees off centre so I took it back and they done it again, this time 30 degrees the opposite way and the steering shakes at 70 mph. To...

Hi, hoping someone can help me! I need my alignment fixed on my SLK230K following a nasty collison with the kerb! should I go to MB dealer or is it OK to go to an independent place? & how can I tell they're not going to mess it up? How much is it going to cos? Appreciate any advice, since I...

Hi I have a W210 1999 estate. I find it is a little twitchy at higher speeds in cross winds. I think possibly the tracking maybe a little out even though no obvious tyre wear. I feel it may be toeing out a little too far. Questions; 1 - Anybody got the correct alingment settings as I...

Has anyone had wheel alignment "free" under ServicePlus? I've heard horror stories about the whole car being messed up by badly done alignment but I'm fed up with my C Class drifting left and squirming and would like them to have a go at it. I don't see why it should be excluded but I know...

Hi folks, Would anyone have the tracking / alignment settings for the W203 C32 ? Mines chewing off the NSR outside and OSF inside, so gonna get it tracked up. If anyone has the settings I'd much appreciate it. Thanks Mark

I have a Sky dish installed 'relatively' discretely on my roof [see bottom left of roofslope], but looks across a gable towards the satellite which compromises the signal quality, particularly on the secondary SKY+ feed [see pic - hope you can picture the scene]. To help with orientation the...

I wish to adjust my headlight alignment using the adjustment screws on the headlight unit... does anybody know which one does the height and which does the left/right movement? I dont want to try it until i know for definate. Thanks

I will be changing a few ball joints and probably track on ends before MOT in December. It's been a long time since I paid for this to be done. (on previous cars). Any members had wheel alignment done recently, and how much did you pay ? Suggested places to get it done ?

I've just put 2 new tyres on the front end of my car [235/45 17s] as the outside edges had worn down quite nicely thankyou. I should have spotted it sooner but the car was tracking beautifully - dead straight. Anyway I had the tyrefitters [Protyre in Slough] check and adjust the alignment using...

hi there all i went to get the tracking sorted on my 2001 w203 and it was adjusted using the 'old' mercedes values, but a lazer set up was used, now in all my times getting about 20 odd cars tracked i have never seen the guys use a diffrent model of car to set the tracking as i know its model...

Went to a reputable MB independent, recommended on this site. Asked for a full alignment, and queried the type of machine they have. Told they used a piece of string 'the old fashioned way.' I was charged 2 hours labout at £50+VAT. Anyone heard of this technique? Regards, Tim PS the car...

Ok this is part two of thread below but I believe it warrants its own space. In the search for a garage that could 4 wheel align etc, I rand my local Kwik-Fit knowing that they couldnt do it but may know of a garage that could. After the normal sales blurb of we do this and we do that they...
