This is a place where a mercedes dealership *OR* specialty shop has a real advantage.
There is a HUGE amount of range in a W124. If the car adjustments are not "Centered" as a starting point...

So, let me get this straight: They aligned your car, charged you $50 and when you complained that it wasn't right- your car is mysteriously been in an accident! Yes, it may need more than a tie-rod adjustment.

Secondly, there is a spreader bar which pre-loads the car for the alignment specs. Without the factory tool-he has adjusted your car WRONG. At speed, with the tie-rod connection behind the wheel axis- the wheels toe-out. When you get going down the road- the steering wheel input is from the rear, the rubber in the suspension gives and the wheels spread apart=)

That's probably the wondering feeling... the car is toe out at highway speeds!!!!!!!
