Hello. Is anyone able to recommend somewhere with real expertise in tracking for R170 SLKs? Despite having tracking adjusted twice my car still pulls to the left. I am near Birmingham but happy to travel anywhere really for the right place. I've posted before but the only place name-checked has closed unfortunatetly. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Paul

Find someone with a Hunter set up, just had mine done and it is bang on

If it is not right take it back.

What did the print out say?

Hi. Took it to a place with a Hunter set up (Shenstone Tyres). All the readings were showing green after they finished. However, they are not a Mercedes specialist and I am wondering if there are Merc-specific numbers they should be aiming for? Prior to that it was tracked at KwiK Fit again with all the readings showing green according to their definitions anyway....so I think I need a Hunter equipped garage who specialise in Mercs....

These hunter / alignment machines are like big consoles. They show the operator exactly what to do and when. Is your suspension in good fettle.

I recall my W124 always had a slight pull to the left from day one and it was spot on. It was actually a feature to ensure driving attentiveness.
