I hit a concrete curb with the right front wheel hard enough to skin the rim up pretty good. I replaced the wheel with a new one then wanted a 4 wheel alignment check done. I'll make it short . The caster/camber was out a few degrees. It requires a special bolt kit that is obtained from Chrysler (or I have a hunch Mercedes as well) The kit has offet washers in it to perform the proper alignment. It costs about $80 if I remember correctly.

If I were you I would go to a Mercedes dealership and ask them to perform the work. They will be experts whereas the Chrysler people aren't usually. It took my crew all day to do a 2 hour alignment. They were learning as they unpacked the kit.

Good luck, Jim

When I lowered my car I was concerned about the camber so I ordered some rear adjustable bushings called KMAC rear camber kit from a place called import auto performance. If I remember right they were on EBay. And I also got a set of bolts for the front like Brian had posted.

the KMAC's are no good if you race but decent for street,

there is a guy on MBWorld who sells REAL camber adjusters, not the funky KMAC stuff, you can make them yourselfas it is a simple design. just a turnbuckle with aircraft universal joints.

He also makes a really cool lowering kit for the mercedes benz a-arms so you can lower your car with stock springs, just by turning a simple bolt. I think he's located under the MBZ 210 race groups
