Based on this reply, I'm guessing you have a severe toe setting problem. Changing struts can make a severe camber change and a camber change on a MB makes a huge change in toe.

Either that or you have something loose in the front end. But I'm betting on the toe. For toe to be the problem it has to be a huge toe problem. Do a basic check with a piece of string. Take a large nail and place it on a 12 inch piece of sting. hold the string end in the exact center of a tread bar (center of tire) on the rear side of the tire. Make the string is long enough so the nail acts as a plumb to the ground. mark the point on the ground exactly. Do the same on the other side of the car. Measure the distance one side to the other.

Toe is the difference between the rear of the tire and the front of the tire (at the center - height wise it doesn't matter on the face of the tire but if you measure from the outside,inside, or middle as long as you do it the same at the front measurement - remember a difference in distance is the measurement not the total distance). In the front the distance between center at the center is easy to read straight off the tires with a sting stretched between them. At the rear it is harder as a string stretched between centers at the center would have to pass through the motor and chassis. By dropping down the rear center measurements by plumb, a fairly accurate measure can be made. For your purposes the measurement front and rear should be the same "zero toe". The desired reading of 3mm + or - a mm is insignificant to your problem. If I am right you will have a toe deviation of 40mm or more, maybe a lot more.

if this is the case, shorten or lengthen the tierods till you are close and see if the problem is solved, then take the car and have it aligned properly.
