Do country roads slope left???

Get a wheel alignment and tell them it's pulling to the left. Cars in are aligned with slightly more/less camber/castor on one side to counter the lean of the road which will naturally pull the car to one side.

^^^This, suspension type matters not its all in the alignment. The car will pull to the side that has more rubber on the road so you generally have slightly more neg camber on the left to counteract the pull of the road camber, while still being within spec.

Depends where you are, but short answer, yes. The road slopes away from the centre to allow water to run off the road, same as off camber corners - stops water building up in rain. We have one corner with the right camber, biggest puddle ever forms everytime it rains.

If you car is pulling too much in your opinion, get an alignment done.

I got a camber bit installed by Mercedes (maybe you missed that post ). Drives fine now. Only pulls left when the road is actually sloping. Much better ride and worth the $360.

My C Class Merc wasn't much fun to drive in the country, hence my starting this thread. It's got the AMG kit which includes sports suspension (not an actual AMG, that would be nice). It was pulling quite hard on some roads. There were a few non-highway country roads that had good asphalt and some nice corners... which I enjoyed ;-).

My Mercedes is most definitely a city/freeway car. I can imaging it would go well on the German autobahn.

I hardly ever go out of the metro area anyways, was on a rare overnight trip in the country to a town called New Norcia. I can post pics if anyone's interested

Thanks for confirming my suspicion regarding country roads all!

Used to love the New Norcia run on a Sunday for breakfast on my bike back when I had such toys, really nice piece of road
