My car (W204 facelift) recently failed its MOT on rear brakes, handbrake efficiency and front near side control arm.
I put the car into the local merc indie for repair and since it’s came out the car pulls to the left quiet bad under braking and it is a pain to drive.
Before any work was carried out the car drove straight as an arrow, the car has been on the hunter wheel alignment machine twice and looks to be good but the pulling left under braking continues.
I have today changed the front pads and discs to rule them out, the Caliper looks good and the sliding pins etc are all fine and working well.
As the car was fine before the work was carried out could the control arm that was installed be at fault?
The rest of the suspension looks to be in good condition, I checked myself while the car was on the hunter wheel alignment machine and it’s recently passed the MOT where it was all checked.
