If margin-left is set to 0, then it is 0. Is it padding that is messing you up by chance? Try setting the padding on both sides to 0 as well and see what that does for you.

Thanks for your suggestion but that doesn't seem to solve my problem

Be aware, that BODY and HTML also might have margin and padding settings, you should adjust them too.
