$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)

narci

no idea...

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.


A 202 330 01 18

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?

narci

Sold. you mean when someone starts a thread on bezsport and asks a questions here and vice versa...

hahahaha

DougandhisC280

Yeah, I know, the other thread got a little out of hand. I'll probably delete it.

soldsep

no i mean on same forums after it has been answered.

DougandhisC280

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.

DougandhisC280

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.

I can get you a K-mac camber kit front or rear if still need them.
$350 + $15 shipping. My email addr: MIC28095@YAHOO.COM

KurumaGOD

$350 for both front and rear???

mic280

No, front or rear $350 each. And also I got these kits on my C280 '95 front and rear.

soldsep

good deal.

mic280

So I guess this tread is dead for now since everyone had seen the price of K-mac camber kit.....

soldsep

lol

DougandhisC280

I'm not paying $700 for a camber kit.

soldsep

why not? You made it seem pretty crucial to have.

mic280

LOL!!!! That's what I'm trying to say...

Mike Conatore

Anybody know if this is for all 4 wheels? Will it work on a non-sport 97 C280? I have been wearing out tires, and the tire store told me I needed new camber bolts. thanks

meanie

Front only.
Yes, it will work on your car.

Josh K

Lol then don't lower your car or complain about how fast you blow through tires. The dealer "crash bolts" don't offer much front adjustment - I know, I've used them, and they offer absolutely no rear adjustment (which is where most of my negative camber was)

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.

Who makes the one you have, Josh? I have only seen single arms for the back.

Josh K

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.
