Front end alignment question.

Back last year, I tried to get my favorite garage to do a front end alignment on my 08 C300. They weren't able to as it appears that the specifications were not available.

Since the MB dealership seems to be so back up with their front end alignments, I'd like to try to get my garage to give it another try.

Does anyone know if the specs are now available?

Hello Jim,

A while ago on this forum someone posted info about a US website owned by MB which you could source a lot of technical information,parts & drawings ect .If I remember correctly you had to become a member but this was free. I have looked through my files but cannot find the URL.

Some one on this forum may be able to help ?

I wondered if the W 203 specs would be much different?

Jim,

I would go to the service manager of the business you bought your car & ask for the alignment specs. They took your money on the sale & should look after you afterwards. Mine does with snippits of info . If they will not find a tame one or go to head office in the US.

Alternatively find a car in the district that tracks well & ask the owner if he could take it to your garage & copy the specs.
