In July 02 when I got my new MM it had a constant pull to the right and a constant steering wheel tremble, especially at speeds above 56 MPH. It took the dealer three days and a few calls to the factory to get the streering alignment right to correct the pulling problem. They also balanced the wheels. I took the car immediately on a trip to the midwest and the tremble was still there. Since the car was due its second oil change when I got there, I took it to a dealer in Nebraska for the oil change and again reported the steering wheel tremble. They balanced all four wheels again and it improved the condition slightly but the tremble is still there. I suspect that the left front tire may be out-around based upon the fact that the mechanic swapped the front and rear tires then found out that they were different sizes. He told me that the left rear tire balanced out better than the left front when he swapped the tire back to the original positions. I have not taken it back to the dealer but intend to in the near future, while the tires are still like new (6400 miles). The shake comes and goes (gets better and worse) depending on the road surface and I get the shake at various speeds. I also wonder if it is not the rack thats at fault.
