Hello everyone, looking forward to a good stay here on the forum. The forums is an excellent resource which I have been reading for a while now. Now that I have a problem I thought it would be a good time for a first post.
The car is a 56 plate cls500 in black with 19" amg wheels which I purchased from an independant dealer, Hillmoren in Leicester, about 5 months back.
The brakes have been squeeling quite notably when reversing the car out of the inclined driveway and I only came to realise recently (about a week back) that it actually continues to do so, to a less pronounced extent, all the time. A friend of mine suggested there maybe a stone stuck in the pad and it would be a matter of time before it went away but I think this is doubtful and am wondering what else could be the culprit?
Another issue I am having is with the car pulling very hard to the camber of the road. The front left tyre badly needed replacing as it was greatly out of allignment, the outer tread was almost slick and the car was pulling to the left very badly. I replaced the tyres with the same brand and size - Pirelli P-Zero Rosso and had the allignment carried out. The car is better although it still pulls a lot to the left, the mechanic has told me this is due to the huge low profile tyres on the 19's. However I feel it is pulling rather excessively (I also own a Porsche which although only on 18's tramlines about 1/4 of what the cls does) and I would like to know whether other owners experience with the 19" AMG wheels and low profile tyres is the same?
