AmericaMonster Posted December 18, 2025 Share Posted December 18, 2025 I have been enjoying familiarising myself with my E53 estate. It feels firmly established, and the performance exceeds my requirements. In several respects, it resembles the driving experience of my E350 estate; however, the primary distinction is in the turning radius. I am still unable to park the car correctly; the turning radius is far smaller than that of my previous vehicle, resulting in my frequently encroaching against the adjacent space until I can realign the car. I observe that when I rotate the steering wheel to full lock, the front tires begin to exhibit a crabbing motion. Is this typical for this vehicle equipped with 20-inch wheels, or should I have it inspected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darthilli Posted December 18, 2025 Share Posted December 18, 2025 Standard for any 4MATIC. Only all-season or winter tires will temporarily conceal it. I utilised two sets of rims on my GLC for this specific purpose. It was exceedingly poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightNewscast Posted December 18, 2025 Share Posted December 18, 2025 Affirmative. This is a characteristic of the RHD 4-Matic vehicles, as previously noted by others. Once the temperature increases, it will predominantly vanish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffUpdate Posted December 18, 2025 Share Posted December 18, 2025 In the almost nine years I have owned my 4MATIC GLE, I have never observed such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
