#503116K kit for C218 - CLS 63, 65 AMG Provides for the 1st time precise Camber and Caster adjustment.
Yesterday (above) instruction sheets you can see have now further simplified.
Other then “Existing sheet” (included with kit showing fitment for both Camber and Caster - step by step with pictures).
See spoiler below re separate sheet for Camber and also separate sheet for Caster (step by step including pics).

Re “stock bushings look nothing like KMAC”.
Background is last 40 or so years replacement Camber and Caster bushes was a “time consuming trial and error procedure” of pressing in a offset hole bush at a particular clock setting.
Then trialing on alignment rack and if incorrect the frustration of having to repeat procedure by disassembling / repositioning bush again !
KMAC changed all that - revolutionizing how adjustment is made. Inventing, patenting a system whereby now bush is inserted in “any offset position”.
Adjustment is now carried out accurately direct on alignment rack (under load) simply by rotating bolt head to exact alignment setting required. Holding in this position and tightening the lock nut!
Check it out - once you get your head around it. You realize the simplicity (often said “the simplest design is the best design”).

Hi
Your pic shows RH side rear mount.
As per step ‘G’ there are ‘4’ INNER PLATES.
Pair Stamped ‘R’ (for RH side)
Pair Stamped ‘ L’ (for LH side)
So when fitted they match exactly the contour of the frame mount lips.
Pic shows RH mount has LH (‘L’ stamped) Plate (as can be seen “location tabs” do not accurately locate).
Matter of making sure Pair ‘R’ plates to RH side with ‘L’ stamped plates to LH. So tabs “accurately seat” as per step ‘G’ pic.

Thats what I thought , but the bolt holes were not lining up....I will swap that one one though.
