Matt. Here is my alignment with the final set of tyres I fitted to the C240. Drove perfectly.
Please remember this is for RHD you must do the opposite for LHD
When setting they should clamp the steering wheel at dead centre.

2.5 total always worked well for me. My guy always dialed a little more left than right. In the US that would be a little more right than LHS.

I was actually planning on doing that since it would help with the pull, too. My differential bearings and last alignment bolt shipped today, so I'll be aligning it after I R&R the differential.

Alright, so I finally got to this today. Only driven it home from work so far, but it seems to drive perfectly like it did when I first bought it!
Just to note since the before measurement already shows the adjusted caster: I checked the alignment first and then put the car on a two-post lift to install the bolt since it is MUCH easier.

What Chevy dealer do you work at, do you work Saturdays, and how much would the alignment cost?
My indy shop simply couldn't align it (not familiar with Benz stuff) and RBM of Atlanta charged me $60 to basically give me a printout showing it was not in spec.
