2011 Mercedes-Benz ML300 steering issues

Asked by Scott

What do you know regarding about steering issues with the 2011 Mercedes-Benz ML300? I have one with an AMG pack with 21-inch alloys and low profile tyres that pulls to the left. When we first bought it I had a wheel alignment done which made no difference. A few months later I took it back to Mercedes who agreed it wasn't right and made a number of adjustments. It was much better after that, but still not 100 percent. After a few more months it began to pull to the left again and you can feel it through the steering wheel. There is something not right. Mercedes hinted that they may be able to change the front left wheel positioning somehow but didn't elaborate.

We are not aware of any issues with the ML series generally, but big wheels and low profile tyres like those fitted to your car are more sensitive to the camber on the road and that could be your problem. As you've already had some success in getting action from your dealer I would suggest you head back there and discuss with them what they might be able to do to improve it even more.
