Am I going crazy here? I just got my 300C, and when the front wheels are turned all the way to the right or left, they are at very noticeable angles. Like, the top of the wheel is further away from the car than the bottom of the wheel. Is it supposed to be like this?

Thanks!

Is it supposed to be like this!

I thought the same thing; but, the general consensous was nothing is wrong. I still think it is extreme.

Dude, don't worry, that's absolutely 100% normal. Look at every car and it's the same way.

Did you happen to notice also that the rear wheels lean inward, or top more inward than bottoms?????

That's normal too.

its like that in every mercedes ive seen- during a turn, you want the sideways force vector to be minimal to avoid skidding along the centrifugal pathway- with tires slanted, the force vector is directed more into the ground- im finally happy that this w ll known fact is being implemented in a car i am going to buy

yup yup... first time i saw that was after i put my 22's on and i thought they were the reason why. then i read that it was normal so i stopped worrying about it.

Thanks everyone who responded. I love this forum. Now my only issue is the fact that they yanked the 7/70 powertrain warranty on the 2006!
