Hi! Does anyone have to hand the tracking settings for a CLK55AMG 2003? Not in the owners manual...

Toe in 20'. I pressume that the ride height, camber & caster settings are all correct, otherwise just doing the tracking is like painting a wall before plastering it;)

Just like when I put some plaster board up the wrong side out and I had to paint that with Unibond to slow down the suction before it was plastered

Just a quick check before committing to further investigations. Car has started pulling to the left recently. Could have knocked a curb as the tyre looks a little damaged. The rim also has a slight buckle on the inner edge.

The good guys that do the 4 wheel tracking have all of the info for your car as they use the VIN number to set it up on

Going to start with getting the rim sorted... Tunbridge Wells seems to be short of proper alignment rigs. A few years ago, a tyre fitter in T/W recommended that we take our Porsche 944 Turbo all the way to Ashford (Kent) to get a full alignment done. Mind you, they were good...
