Help on aligment, please!

I noticed the fast worn thread in my front tires, outside! (closed steering rigth?)
I went to do an aligment and my surprise was, IT WAS ALIGNED!!!!
they done a few setups, and sayed we gonna leave it on "10".

Every time I go to my dealer I ask to him to tighten up all suspension, and I feel good improvments every time. The suspension seams to soft all the time but after they tighten up the suspension it feels good

All my bushings are Ok...

Today when I was at my dealer to solve a major failure happened to my car I asked them what the hell was this
They don't know what is causing the front tires wear out so fast on the outside, but they asked me to leave the car so they could look at it and to see if they allready changed some Steering screws!
I appointed to 11/11

Now I ask, anyone know what screws could be? any pics?

Camber bolts? No pics. The bolts are made in graduations to adjust/alter front end camber. I had them replaced when I complained of pulling to the left. Common adjustment.

you mean the shoulder's right? I believe that's pretty normal for the C-Class... My shoulders are pretty damn worn compared to the centers (and I overinflate my tires too).

My old w202 had the same issue as well...

Hey guys I only have 28000miles, and all the bushings are OK, so, how could the "Camber bolts" be damaged

Not damaged, wrong bolts for the required camber. That's how they adjust the camber.....which is how perpendicular the wheel is to the road. Sometimes you need + or - camber to make up for uneven tire wear or bad handling characteristics. Usually installed on the C to make up for the car drifting left or right when you take your hands off the wheel.
