Right Pull Investigated

[sheezdoc]

450 miles on my RT now and, largely because of so many posts on the topic, I decided to do some miles concentrating on nothing but the supposed dreaded seemingly inherent Right Pull.

I'm tellin ya guys, under opposite circumstances of Road Crown, the RT pulls just about as hard to the left...close enough to call the same amount of pull. I've tested this till I was blue in the face on roads with various crown slopes as well as flat out level pavement and have come to the determination that it is not an inherent Right Pull issue but rather the combination of two other "inherent" characteristics with the vehicle:
1) Incredible sensitivity to Road Crown -- never driven another auto like it, being so sensitive I mean.
2) A lack of self-centering (of the steering wheel). This is also unlike any other auto I've driven -- the sucker just doesn't snap back to center worth a flip. And this characteristic may very well be a big cause or even the cause of #1 above.

One bit I have neglected is even checking the air pressure in my tires so take the above with that grain of salt in mind.

My build date was early to mid October I think.

Just about all the new cars built after August 1 should be fine and not require any rework on the front end alignment issue. Keep in mind that this is not your average american made steering set up. It is directly from the Mercedes 'E' class cars. Everytime you turn your wheels either right or left, the castor/camber is constantly changing which keeps the tires flat on the road during turns at speed for better handilng and road adhesion. The alignment only goes in to a neutral point when they are dead on straight. This is also why they are extremely sensitve to road crowning and tire pressure. Just some background on the design issues of the front end of the 300s and Magnums.
