I have a class B W246-200 that tends to go to the left. The story is the following:
- Changed front wheels, new. State: The car goes to the left as soon as the steering wheel is released, the steering wheel turns to the left visibly.
- Aligned the wheels. State: as well as the previous
- The position of the front wheels were changed, the left one with the right one and vice versa. State: Without changes, the incidence persists. The wheels were aligned after this change again.
- Pressures? The pressures are correct in all pneumatic ones.
Observations or test that I have done:
I put the car on a straight line, with good asphalt, the brake floor and put the car in neutral. With the xentry connected to the OBD2, put the steering wheel at 0.0 degrees, that is, totally aligned, as it should be. I put d (drive), without touching the accelerate steering wheel, the car goes away (depending on how much the is the speed), the steering wheel is turned to the left, minimum -2.5 to -.2.7 degrees, reaching sometimes (I don't know whether as the asphalt and fall from it or by the brake effect) to -3.0 -3.1 degrees.
I have repeated this test several times in several ways of the line where I have done tests, the results are consistent. Currently: for the car to go straight you have to be exerting strength to the right. Other observations: - The brake pads are relatively new, the last year changed, I have not had noise problems and the discs, those of all the wheels have a uniform expense. - However, if I have observed that the disc of the left front wheel is more hotter than the right wheel.
I do not know the origin of the issue, I do not know if it is the brake and the brake clamp that does not work well and applies -maybe -straight pressure that causes the temperature to rise or if it is the wheel bearing that is screwed and applies heat to the brake assembly.
- Time ago I hit a hole in the asphalt with the left front wheel, I do not know if that has spoiled something. - The tires have no fractures and have been balanced.
- A cyclic vibration associated with the rhythm of the march is noticeable, the more speed more frequency in the vibration observed in the steering wheel.
- The Xentry says that the direction sensor is working ok, without failure. Noises? Nothing that I could say .. there is something broken or that squeak. If it is true that I notice a certain background sound as a driving, but I would not know how It would happen ignored, but persistent.
In the past I took the car to the official service of Mercedes, the answer could not be more surreal and unprofessional: it is normal, all the Mercedes do it.
I rent cars for travel issues, from different brands, and I never saw car doing like that.
Is there someone from the forum who has gone through the same?
Any suggestion or test to do? If the bearing were screwed in the left front wheel, if I remove the brake pad and the caliper, I understand that the disk would not turn well and the test would be conclusive, is it correct?
