Definative explination.... Pull left

[flintx]

hi all, i`m after some help with my car pulling to the left. Been to WIM (and 5 other M.M. garages) where Paul did his best but my car still pulls to the left and it just got worse. could someone point me to the right direction. Aware of road camber, tyre pressure etc.

I'm in the same boat and it's driving me crazy

A guy I work with also has a W204 and it doesn't pull left

So is it more down to worn suspension, or the car being in a previous accident and chassis not square?

Recently got a W204 C63 and noted on collection that when driving in a straight line, the steering wheel was off center to the right by maybe 8 or 10 degrees. I had a local MB specialist correct this (in amongst some other issues being put right by the selling dealer) and it's better now but still feels a little off to the right.

Is that what we are describing here as "pull to the left"? I imagine the garage that did the work will have checked and set the geometry etc. to MB stated values rather than anything beyond that to try and resolve the reported issue, I guess this would need to go to a good alignment specialist with decent equipment and the know-how to use it?

Pull to the left . . .
Vehicle geometry is something I take care of at work regularly.
If after a geo then, as long as everything was clamped properly before alignment was altered, get onto a straight piece of motorway (ideally), and centre the steering wheel.
If there is any drift (pull), then the geo wasn’t correctly completed (steering wheel clamped maybe a degree or three off centre?).
There could be other factors - suspension as mentioned, differing tyre inflation per side on an axle, incorrect tyre inflation (too high all round, or too low), lower arm bushes could be worn (do you notice a “clunk” noise from one side or another when meeting a speed bump or similar?).
Many factors while in themselves are individually insignificant, collectively can manifest annoyingly, altering the thrust line (the collective result of geo settings).

Hi all, back again, desperately need a good garage for tracking / geometry check for my W211 i live in Cambridgeshire. Almost rebuilt the whole suspension went to Protyre where they set tracking for "MB specs" which is rubbish. Pulls to the left badly with that setting. WIM doesn't exist anymore Any advise will be very much appreciated but please save the hassle with the M.Mouse tyre companies
