- Hyundai 1.6 diesel, don't even know its model name but it does 57 mpg no probs
I know all about the 'they all do that' argument for Mercs pulling left on UK roads, usually something about more caster (believable) and 'better build' of Mercedes (unbelievable).
Anyway, I had my alignment done twice due to a slight but firm pull (hard to quantify but it felt more than a drift to me) and it was annoyingly still there. Before I chucked money at MB dealer I thought I'd do a quick check:
Swapped the tyres left to right and the pull is gone with just what I personally think is a natural drift with the road camber.... am just wondering how long this will last and if all I and others with this complaint need to do is swap the tyres left to right every couple of 1000 miles?
