SLS Gullwing, E63 AMG Both 2011
Tyres/Alignment
Hi All, I have a 2011 E63 AMG, this pulls to the left badly and is eating the inner edges of the front tyres and is a pig to drive, have had the alignment done many times, even by Merc NZ, has anyone had this problem, we are in New Zealand and have Cambered roads. Also have a 2011 SLS Gullwing this drives like a dream but I only got 5000kms out of my front tyres, is this normal ? I have near new tyres on the outer edge, this to has had its alignment checked by various garages expected to get maybe 10000kms

ONLY ADJUSTMENT DEALERS OR ALIGNMENT SHOPS HAVE TO WORK WITH IS FRONT AND REAR “TOE” ALONG WITH TYRE ROTATION !
NO CAMBER OR CASTER TO RESOLVE PREMATURE/COSTLY EDGE TYRE WEAR, STEERING PULL OR TO COMPENSATE FOR ALTERING HEIGHT, LOAD CARRYING, FITTING WIDE PROFILE TYRES/WHEELS, HIGH CAMBERED ROADS OR SIMPLY HAVING “ONGOING ADJUSTMENT CAPABILITY” TO RETURN TO FACTORY SPECS AFTER CURB KNOCK DAMAGE.
TRACK DAYS BEING ABLE TO REDUCE UNDERSTEER/LAPTIMES – BY GOING DEEPER INTO THE CORNERS WITH IMPROVED TRACTION AND BRAKING RESPONSE!
CAMBER – Allows to actually change the tyre contact angle resolving costly, premature edge tyre wear, improving traction/understeer/oversteer (TOE only alters wheel direction).
CASTER – Correctly resolves steering pull, increases steering response. With better turn in and high speed directional control, along with improved anti dive/lift under brake and acceleration.
No more ongoing trips to dealers or alignment shops or constantly changing tyre brands because of Toe only adjustment OEM. Or the frustration of installing (Front only) ‘offset’ bolts – to find they are inaccurate one only position – offering a minimal .3 of one degree!
We have changed all that. Up to 4 times the adjustment range of these “one” position bolts. With single wrench precise adjustment and importantly - on car accurately (under load) direct on alignment rack!
This K-MAC patented design breakthrough of on car adjustment has also eliminated the need over the last 40 or so years of time consuming removal/replacement each time to change a setting.
K-MAC front bushings replace the 4 highest wearing bushings and have twice the load bearing area of OEM. Yet still 2 axis/self aligning without the use of oil and air voids. Resulting in improved brake and steering response.
Rear bushings provide precise Camber for the first time and extra Toe to compensate for the new Camber facility.
NOTE: For the rear also available are rear Camber arms. We do not manufacture these because they need to replace the top arms – difficult to access/adjust and to resolve premature inner edge tyre wear need to reduce important clearance “top of tyre to outer fender”.
Both front and rear kits come with instructions and bush extraction and insertion tubes.
