tracking

I had the tracking done on my car four times in about three months by different tyre centres (previous threads) Merc wanted well over £100. Members recommended BMTR in Birmingham at £90 but before I got there a guy who overheard my conversation recommended Tyres R Us, Brookvale trading estate...

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...

Bit of advice needed on a W203 I'm looking at. Previous owner had some work done on replacement bushes, ball joint and rear (? )tracking rods. He had it done at a local garage not the stealers. Firstly, is this kind of thing normal on a W203 at that sort of low mileage. Secondly, is it a...

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

My new tyres were showing slight signs of toe-out wear, on the inside edge (after 1000 miles) I have lengthened the track rods by half a turn each side. I used a couple of spirit levels (pressed against the tyres) to get a rough measurement and have a reading of 0mm which means I have set it...

I`m changing my lower balljoints, nipping up a wheel bearing, replacing the steering damper and going from 205/55/16 tyres to 225/40/18 tyres and wheels on my clk320 this weekend and i think it would probably be a good idea to get the tracking done afterwards. I`m sure I read somewhere that the...

It seems like in these days this is the only board I post too :p A quicky - I used to have a little program that would refresh a webpage every minute or so; check for differences and if any stop refreshing. Ideas what it was? (or what I can replace it by?) The reason is I'm trying to join...

I have had the tracking adjusted by a well known tyre service. The merc specialist who services my w202 said that in order for the tracking to be adjusted properly it MUST go to a MB Dealer. Surely this can not be the case as the national company that I took it to used laser alignment...

Ok been to local tyre garage to have tracking done as steering wheel wasnt straight. He put equipment on and told me it was 2.2mm out and he would put it right. 6 Attempts later I have driven away from garage with a wonky wheel. BUT it seems to come and go! - This might just be me. If I leave...

Just had the tracking checked and altered....apparently 3mm out which was causing wear to outside edge of left tyre. However, now steering wheel slightly off centre.....should the garage be able to amend tracking and keep steering wheel centered correctly?

Test drove a 1996 CL500 C140 today. When the wheel is straight it steers to the right. Is the tracking a Main Dealer only thing? ££?? Could it be worn bushes? Is there a comon fault with these cars? Thanks Richard

Car went in today (dealer) to check tracking free of charge due to the fact i bought it last week, its drifting slightly to the left if i let go of the wheel, and when i hold the wheel to go in a straight line the steering wheel is slightly off center clockwise:confused: (22,000mls). The sales...

A guy here at work, just asked me if you can tell if your tracking is out without having it tested. in otherwords, what signs would you have. i rattled on about the tyres having uneven wear, but that was about it.

Hi everybody, Can anybody recommend a company in the Aylesbury/Buckingham area that can do the tracking on my W210 estate? Cheers :D

E300TD 1999 W210. I've just bought new tyres for the front axle. The tread on both original front tyres is Wearing out on the inside edge (nearest the engine bay). The tracking has been checked and is OK. Can the castor and camber be adjusted to stop this pattern of tyre wear? Can I buy...

Was in town, doing death by shopping yesterday, and to ease the bordom, and because they were not busy asked Kwik Fit to check the tracking on my W210 estate. It has been pulling to the left for a while, and I have never been really happy with the handling, and this is the result. Question...

Went to an indy to-day for a transmission oil change.When I picked the car up E220cdi 2000 I was told my front wheels need re-tracking and that I should get it done at a stealers (about£180) as they are the only ones with the correct equipment. Said that the front of car "sits down" onto the...
