That's what I thought too. What's the point spending the money for the kit when we can't even correct camber degree. Thanks for the info.

will it help a lot with rubbing?

Blake P

Depends...might actually cause your tires to start rubbing the inside instead! At least it would give you the option of dialing in the camber (whether positive or negative) to get it as close to perfect as possible.

rlee02135

are they easy to install?

where'd you get the K-Mac?

thanks

Blake P

I don't have K-Mac...notice they're in the "coming soon" area of my sig. I watched Flip install the speedybnz arms on my sedan and it didn't look so hard, but I hear the K-Mac arms are much more difficult. Heck, maybe I won't even bother with camber adjustment on the coupe afterall.

If you guys want camber arms similar to Speedybenz's camber arms you all should contact Lensolo. He has a few already made and confirmed fitment on my car this morning. Some high quality pieces. He makes these on the side as Jeff was doing but I think he's a little more responsive. I believe he has 7 already made and ready to ship.

"Made with 304 stainless steel machined tubing and heat-treated, chromoly, teflon coated heim joints. Top quality and probably overkill, but so what "

c230 o5

are those any DIF> from carlabs camber kit (i have them but not yet installed)

sdsilverm3

I believe it's the same concept but different materials used to build them. I believe he mentioned they can withstand 31,000 lbs of force before destructing. Beyond that they are similar in that they do the same thing.

Thanks, Ling.
Here's a picture of the whole kit:

Do you know if they are also available for the rear axle?

Thanks.

Sorry, do these bolts fix a widespread problem or something? Or is it simply so you can adjust camber from stock, for fun? I'm lost.

jay_mark_paul

Mig888, can you please give some details about your make, model and year of your car including how much lower you've gone from stock. The reason I ask (I may be wrong), but wouldn't the c230 05 SS models be unique in their camber issues.

Thanks...

Jay

on a stock car you can only adjust camber so much, some time not even to official stock levels, these bolts allow you to either reach that or in some cases surpass it.

for example, my mr2 can get some crazy camber if I get the factory crash bolts.

it seems from reading the above thread that the MB ones don't really adjust it all that much more then stock.

mig888

oh wow, i dont even remember this thread =). my drop? it's like I lost an arm's width and a half from my 2003 C230 SS... I'm not sure if these came stock in 2005+ or not though.

Hey Mig sounds like your the man when it comes to this front camber business. I recently ran over something on the fwy and bent my rims and busted two tires on the right side of my car. I just got my bent rims fix and now they are pretty much good as new, and I also got my alignment done. Since the car is really low in the front, even with a electrical alignment job with the machines the front is still not centered proberly its off by a degree or so. Can you visually tell the difference of the new bolts and the stock ones? My car is still pulling really hard to he right what do you suggest i do?

mig888

hm ****, these bolts dont adjust camber that much. and if it's pulling REALLY hard to the right, it's not just a camber issue. How hard did you hit this thing? Control arms probably need to be checked. You also might want to inspect your suspension - tighten things up a bit down there..

Benzino

lovely how much does that cost?

mig888

A control arm last I checked was about $90. checking your suspension? quick peek. Camber bolts? $20? You had the alignment redone though...and everything was in spec? Hm..

Benzino

quick peek? what exactly would I be looking for? ya my rear wheels are alighned proberly and front I think too. My steering wheels is off even though the guy suppposivly centered it. I did see him to that to but no diff

mig888

Take the wheel off, check the hub assembly out - just to be general. If you notice anything that could need tightening. Check the side of impact the most though. There's also a way of manually readjusting the steering by actually removing the steernig wheel.. but if it was fine before, this step is not the way to solve it (last resort kind of thing).

Benzino

my steering wheel had the tilt before but now its even worse

mbhackie

If your steering wheel is not centered but the car drives straight without a pull the front toe is off. Tell them to readjust it.

Benzino

They said my car is to low in the front, any other ideas?

wazabii

I just lowered my front and I had an alignment done with camber bolts to the front and rear. Still pull slightly to the right. Cost me $250. Indie said Mercedes design their cars to pull slightly to the right as a safety feature. Any truth to this?

Still going to go back (for the 3rd time) tomorrow to get it going straight.

advans

lol never heard of that. did u tell your indy that your wallet was designed to give him slightly less cash?
