$690??? That's more than the springs and shocks combined! Is that normal. I thought it was just a bolt and an egg shaped washer. (at least that's what the dealer said)

Here's the OEM camber adjustment bolt for w202 sports models, not sure if it's for all 4 or just the front. As well, there have been mixed reviews...some people won;t make a difference, some will.

yes that price is normal the bolt you are talking about you can get that at dealer. But it doesnt adjust much.
Don't you hated when you answer someones question in one thread and they start another thread asking the same question?

Where? My other thread? He put that on there the same time he posted this one. I actually saw it on this thread before the other thread. Don't worry, it will be ok. So the egg shaped washer, why can't they just make one bigger around and more oblonged shaped to change the degree more?

I was just about to do alignment soon. A guy who checked my car told me that there isn't any oem camber bolt available for the rear, nor aftermarket. Especially when the car is lowered. Again this is for 96 w202, i don't know if its available for the newer models.

I'm not to worried about the rear, it's only .3 degrees off. This won't make hardly any difference. Still wish I could find something affordable for the front. I know a bunch of people who are majoring in mechanical engineering here so I'm going to see if they can rig something up in the machine shop. I need something like the dealer bolt but the washer needs to be bigger.

Quality stuff costs money. Here's my rear suspension setup.
Far superior to and more expensive than the bushing replacements you're balking at paying $350 for. I'm still going to be buying a K-Mac kit for the front, however as they're the only source for a good front camber solution.

House of Power makes the adjustable "Trak-Links." (www.hopracing.com)
While the 2 bar sets allow some camber adjustment, the only way to completely isolate the camber plane is by replacing both sets of arms.
