After debate we are going to do a few things... #1 have Mercedes inspect the engine for wear...if it survives that have glow plugs put in it,flush the motor get its 4th alignment in 12 months and make arrangements for paint... Here's hoping!

Thanks for your input !

What the heck you doing? Off roading? I've had 1 alignment in all my time....and that was just because the boot cover ripped open.....

Unlike NASCAR, curbs are NOT part of the roadway and must not be used to make your trip shorter!!!

4 allignments in a year? I had none in almost 10 years and almost 700k miles.

I had one alignment, 3 or 4 years ago when the steering wheel was nearly 90º off and it really wanted to drive in circles. The only other time was a couple of years ago when I had the steering rack and steering shaft replaced.

Wow hahaha no I've had a problem with the drivers wheel staying put... Spent tons of hours at the dealer back in the day and finally gave up if I so much as look at a pot hole the drivers wheel goes out!
