King Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Right, just noticed that the MB has started suffering badly from tramlining. Any change in the road surface causes the car to change directions! After a quick inspection the nearside lower ball joint has some play in it, so was wondering whether this could be causing it? Tyres are fine with good tread/ correctly inflated.is it worth changing all four of them at once (front upper and lower ones both sides)?Are OEM parts recomended or are the blueprint ones upto the job?Will the tracking need doing afterwards?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regarding the tracking i was just thinking once i fit the new ball joints whether the tracking would be reset and need redoing? As ive already had this cars tracking done twice!

johngreen537 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I'd get teh tracking checked personally after mate.If the tracking was done while the buch had a little play in it, then it could alter the tracking marginally.Noodels is more than likely right though, not really necaserry, just I'm a little pedantic when it comes to tracking.
