Does anyone know if the camber is adjustable on these cars ? I had tracking done 2 ths ago and the tire seemed to stop wearing. The car drives straight but the tire stills now seems to be wearing again. Looking at the wheels the passenger side looks like it has more positive camber. I had a flat...
Hi friends,

Decided to get both sides replaced: MB stealership estimate £385 excl geometry and Indy says £175 inc basic tracking.
should i go with the indy or shop around?

Happy New Year everyone!
After many months of happy motoring in my E500 (W211) it came time to change the tyres.
I had already had to change the passenger front side tyre a towards the end of last year so I made sure that I tracked down and matched that tyre with 3 new ones. (Dunlop Sportmax...
Does any one know an authentic place to get tracking and alignment in Birmingham?
I had to scrap two front tyres today with good tread in whole tyre apart from outer edges which had none, more so in left front tyre...I have put four new winter tyres today and the tyre man said to get...
Hi Guys,

I would like the full 4 wheel alignment geometry tracking camber whatever it all is check!

Had the car back fir tracking today after the first attempt left the wheel off centre.
The tyre centre are struggling. Ran out of time after 90 minutes, and 5 attempts. They tell me that it sets up ok, but falls out of alignment immediately on being driven.
Just had a new track control...
My E class pulls to the left a bit, went into the local tyre place to get the tracking done and they reckon it's main dealer only ???:dk:
Is this correct, if so what's the likely cost going to be ?
Thanks

Hi all after finding that my last set of tyres havent llasted long and worn severely on the insides (Front)
I asked my tyre supplier to do the tracking however he said that due to my car having self levelling rear suspension he would only advise a dealer do it.
My question is ...is that the...
Just got a quote from mercedes for a 4 wheels alignement, 164 pounds, all included I was told. :eek:
Farmers are doing it for 50 pounds, anyone as its wheels done with farmers?

Hi All,
I have just had new front tyres but now realise that the car needs specialist equipment to set up the geometry (not just tracking) and the nice chap at Wheels in Motion advises me that the camber angle is probably out as the tyre wear is severe right at the inside edges.
Anyone know...
Hi All
Planning to change the front lower balljoints this weekend on my w202 1997 c180. Will this work affect the tracking or any other front suspension settings (castor/camber etc)?
Many thanks

I still have a slight rumbling noise from the offside front of my car, that is most noticeable when the car is cold. So far I have replaced the front discs and pads, had 4 new tyres fitted, the rear diff oil changed and the suspension etc checked by my local indi. Nothing was discovered, but he...
Is it true that you can only getting your tracking done at a MB dealer? Is it just another excuse to fleece you of cash? just been quoted £120 to get it done. Begining to miss my old mondeo. :(
Just got back from the Tyre shop having fitted some Vredestein Extreme to the rears. They pointed out that the fronts although there was 4-5 mm over most of the tyre on the very inside the tread had gone.
Surely if this was the tracking then I would notice the front being extemely light and...

I have a spare TrakM8 T2002 GPRS system with immobiliser. And All manuals on disk as from the factory.
All it requires is to be fitted by a competent person and a contract mobile phone SIM. Once activated, you will never worry about not finding your car if ever stolen!
Here is a link to the...
I have a 2005 CLK 270D, recently replaced the front tyres and now want to have the tracking checked to make sure nothing is likely to cause them to rub off quicker than their expected lifespan.
I have been told that this is a specialist job on the 209 CLK and has to be done by either the...
