I have (sorry, my lovely wife has......) a 1998 C200 estate with 80K on the clock.

Have never had tracking checked in 3 years and I'm sure my beloved has nudged the kerb a few times on the dreaded school run grand prix.

Local tyre dealer cannot check tracking as car has to be 'loaded' apparently.

Anyone know where I can get this done (not any MB main dealer clowns...sorry 'technicans' ....please) around Crawley-East Grinstead area of West Sussex?

Thanks Guys

SP

ring round. Officially all MBs need to be loaded, but both the C and E have been done at a local place with no problem for around £25. I watched and they didn't load it up, but she runs straight and there is no in/out tyre wear.
I believe ideally it should be loaded and laser checked, but that's a £200+ job and in my experience not worth it.
