I can't believe for a moment that this issue didn't appear in pre-production testing. Some manager, some where decided that the vehiucle would go in to production with this "characteristic".
So speaking to one the Mercedes reps here in my city just now and they said Mercedes are now fitting the cars with new 'knuckles' which actually sorts the crabbing out... However not available for the AMG models! Wonder if this holds up
Hmm, so they have actually gone and engineered a better solution. I wonder if the AMG has bigger knuckles to cope with the larger wheels or something ?
You'd hope that if a revised part is available and it does work they'd do the AMG part too.
