thought this was a problem for w204/C204 models only, the r172 too?

shame on you, MB!

Yup. It happens to almost all the new MB cars. It really depends on whether the drivers accept it or feel it.

Anyway, it has been fixed!

By increasing right front castor forwards and moving the left front castor backwards, it has reduced the pulling to almost nil.

All that is required is MB Part No. 000 330 00 18, camber bolts for W211 and MB Part No. 000 333 10 71, washer shims for W204, to make it align properly.

The downside is that this fix has reduce the camber on the left to 1° 13' and increased right side camber to 2°, previously it was about 1°30' for both sides. This means that it is not ideal for a clockwise track like Sepang. I might have to get a full coilover system to settle that problem but at least the car drives properly now.

I lost you after 'it's been fixed'

I'm just glad my car is going straight now!

yeah exactly. layman's term please prof tanzy.

[Tigershark]

In layman's terms, the adjustment of the front wheel castors is to tell the left wheel to steer right a little bit and the right wheel to stay straight. This will resolve the left pull issue.

ignore the camber info. it can be left as another topic.

ahhhh.... I see I see... that's a very helpful explanation. thanks!

so that was what he was trying to say... gee...

Ur issue sounds familar to my w203 then, prob is more pronounced if u upsize rims. However i got both the camber / castor bolts (understand its the same part nbr) & problem solved. Setting higher castor angles also meant better turn-in response (dunno if that is thecorrect term to use) acc to my butt feel.

Is the 1.6 C180 CGI affected, i havent got my car yet but I think some of the people in this forum might have collected. Any feedback if this 1.6CGI is affected ?
