What W250 owners report
Recent steering complaints filed with NHTSA, shortened. Personal details are removed.
THE FRONT TIRES WORE 5 TO 10 TIMES FASTER THAN THE REAR. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN TURNING ON A LOOSE SANDY SURFACE AT LOW SPEED, THE FRONT TIRES WERE SLIDING MORE THAN ROTATING. I THINK THE STEERING ARMS ARE OF THE WRONG PART NUMBER AND HAVE INCORRECT GEOMETRY (TOE OUT IN TURNS).
