Alignment for c coupe

I've just changed two chamber bolts, now my car pull left problem solved but I feel a little bit wrong when driving, abit rough n vibrate. I believed is due to toe in toe out problem.

Any good alignment shop for c coupe to introduce. Thanks

Alignment don't usually can cause vibration problem. But if Kenny can resolve it by adjusting the alignment, I want to visit him too!

Agree. Alignment has to be seriously off to cause vibration problem.

Usually, poor alignment results in slightly veering to one side and more tyre wear-n-tear.

Did you up your wheel rim size?

More vibration on 18" than 17"

The guy at Pandan Loop told me there sure be some road vibration and don't think caused by off balancing or something else. Waiting for a specialist to QC 1st. Nowadays, car like human, must wait for senior doctor to check before can discharge. Hahaha... With this post, I've been promoted to 2nd Gear!!!

Fetch my coupe from panda loop this afternoon. Good job done! Steer left gone, steering no more vibrate. 1 and a half day without car but worth it. Had asked my SA, he told me alignment won't be out if u changed from 17" to 18" as long as correct offset, he also told me won't void warranty and alignment will be covered even though with my aftermarket amg 18" rims as long as not 19" or 20" which is not recommended for the c. Very funny same C&C don't know why ubi there want me to pay for the alignment just I'm not using stock 17" rim n pandan loop say never mind. Went pandan loop few times already and very satisfied with their body care SA n service repair SA.

Glad that your issue has been resolved somehow, but my SA just informed me that their expert German guys tested my ride and found it is normal for my ride due to different road condition. Im giving up and will changed back to my 18" and just live with it! Haiz....

I'm now considering changing my ride to X3

I was driving pre fl w204 from 2008 to 2011, then backside itchy changed to a used Audi a5 sportback. But only last for a month cos gearbox problem. Then backside itchy again changed to 320 lci msport. I had visited their workshop from pml to munich auto for the sound issue and was not solved. Very very regret! LL wait for 6 months then come back to merc again. So I can say I'm from sgmerc to vagsg then to bmw-sg finally back to sgmerc. But some of my friends love Audi and didn't encounter any problem, and some of them love bmw and enjoyed with it.

My opinion, sometime buy car also have to suit your eight characters. So that's why some people buy car also have to ask feng shui master 1st. Hahaha...

I'm not sure. Before that I've already done alignment n changed the camber bolts at outside workshop but car very rough n steering vibrate when driving above 80 onwards then LL removed the camber bolt n changed back to 17" stock rim still the same but slight better. After sent in to pandan loop, now very smooth very comfort. Look for SA Joe very nice guy. Tonight just found out some light helicopter sound when in multistorey carpark n when doing reverse parking, like coming from the engine compartment. Going to visit pandan loop again soon.

Hi John

Oh dear, one issue resolved and another start appear. Hope that noise can be rectified easily.

Btw, Thanks for info.

My C180K also having the veering left problem. Sent in to Ubi, after 1 full day, it became worst. Then sent in 2nd time, also 1 full day, and it is back to before or slightly better. They said they installed both front camber bolts, and left camber already max out. Meaning, that's already the best... so have to live with it lor...

The problem is not the camber, it should be the caster instead. but too bad, it is not adjustable. You see, more + caster is like Harley Davidson bike vs. normal bike. It will drive straighter.

Recently, I'm looking at WHITELINE Anti Lift Kit (aka WALK) for my Jetta 6, as it dives terribly during hard braking, unlike C180K. This kit also adds +0.5 deg. caster. So I thought this might be the answer, but too bad, not available for Merc.
