Lowered ML - Any ways to reduce negative camber?
Recently lowered my ML with H&R Springs and Bilstein HD Shocks and after the alignment was told their slight negative camber on all tires and there is no way to adjust it (toe is fine - to factory spec). The shop said the inner tires may wear out slightly more on the inside or may not (time will tell).
Anyone know of any solutions (perhaps bolts, kits, etc?)

YES THERE IS ONLY FRONT AND REAR TOE ADJUSTMENT OEM.
“Full front and rear wheel alignment” is no more!
Since the mid ’90 model’s, with ever increasing speed of vehicle assembly lines there has been no front or rear Camber (or front Caster) adjustment facility fitted OEM.
It’s no wonder many owners continually change tire brands or go from one MB Dealer or alignment shop to another trying to get it right/fix the problem!
We saw the need therefore “to fix it right the first time” by designing, developing, patenting (and re-instating from the 1990’s) fully adjustable front (and rear) suspension for virtually all models.
Providing “ongoing” full, precise adjustment of both Camber and Caster settings if altering suspension height, fitting wide profile tires/wheels or curb knock damage. The unique K-MAC patented design only requires use of a single wrench/no disassembly.
For the rear, similar kits are manufactured for precise Camber adjustment (with additional Toe to compensate for the new Camber facility).
Bonus with the four front and four rear bushes is that they are also designed with twice the load bearing area and replace the highest wearing suspension bushings. And with K-MAC no special tools are required to fit.

BUSHINGS – we’re by far the cheapest, yet with the quality and know how that comes with designing, manufacturing alignment kits longer than anyone else (proudly in-house – not sourcing cheap imports and relabelling).
Our unique patented designs offer more adjustment range, are easiest to fit/adjust and proven long term reliability.
$480 for a rear kit, while others at $2200 (and less adjustment). Front kit at $560 while mass produced OEM – the high wearing ‘4’ main front end bushings (and not adjustable) are $2000 upwards.
How much are you paying for a set of SUV replacement tires and the time waste of numerous visits to dealers or alignment shops re premature edge tire wear or steering pull brought about by curb knock damage, altering height, load carrying, fitting wide profile tires/wheels etc?
And all they have to work with is OEM “Toe” adjustment!
At K-MAC we offer “ongoing” full precise Front and rear adjustment facility Front Camber and Caster. Rear Camber and extra Toe to “fix it right the 1st time”! With the added bonus of replacing the highest wearing front suspension bushes at the same time.
