Anyone have 2002 C230 Coupe Alignment Specs ?
Hey Guys,
Can anyone help me out. I tried searching the foum, but couldn't find what I am looking for. I am looking for the alignment specs for a 2002 C230 Coupe. If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

I can get you the numbers for a sedan [02 C240], but it will have to be later today - the sheet is in the car, which in turn is in the condo garage several floors below me. I'll get the sheet and share what I have.
Particularly for the front, there should be no difference.
Who's going to do the work? If this is the first time, a kit has to be installed to modify the camber in the front, and that has to come from a dealer or some other reliable source.

I am going to get an alignment at a friends shop, his machine has specs for a "Mercedes Benz 01-04 203 (C) , I am not sure if that will be the specs for my car or not, that is why I am asking.
Thanks

Yes, the guide being referenced should do the trick.
Here's what I know:
Front Toe: 0 degrees 11' minimum to 0 degrees 21' max. Best to get both wheels as close to matching as possible.
Rear Toe: 0 degrees 17' min. to 0 degrees 24' max. This is less critical as long as both sides are reasonably close.
Front camber on mine varied from -.12 degrees to +.29 degrees, and it seems fine.
Rear camber varied from -0.92 degrees to -1.00 degrees on either side.
In addition, to cure a persistent pull to the right, we settled on:
Left Front Caster: 9.51 degrees /// Right Front Caster: 9.76 degrees
The small caster difference completely cured the pull. The slight toe-in and camber variances in front seem to have caused no problems - I rotate the tires about every 3000 miles, and they are wearing perfectly evenly and are still balanced and smooth at nearly 18,000 miles.
Hope this helps.
