I just wanted to know what all you guys think about camber on our cars. I've seen w219 owners say they would rather change tires each year then go with aftermarket camber kits. Are the kits that bad? Or is it that they cost $400 to $700 front / back each? I have camber in the front and rear, but it's kind of wierd that some guys would rather wear their tires out instead of getting camber kits. Am I missing something?
Yes cost cutting and the ever increasing speed of auto assembly lines has the new car industry deleting front and rear adjustment ! (other then Toe "directional" adjustment)
No longer essential Camber and Caster to adjust tire contact angles, spread load more evenly. Excess edge load also leading to ruptured side walls and rim damage.
1. FOR THE C219 KMAC FRONT “CAMBER” adjuster kit is#502216-1G $295 (Both Sides)
Which is less then the cost of one hi performance tire.
Replaces at the time time the 2 lower arm (highest wearing) inner bushings. Bush extraction, insertion tubes included.
Unique patented design provides precise, single wrench adjustment accurately (under load) direct on alignment rack.
2. Or Above kit.... also including "Caster" adjustment (the 2 front forward facing thrust arm bushes). Also precisely adjustable. KMAC bushings replace the OEM soft rubber, oil and air voided bushes with 2 Axis / Monoball design. Allowing arms to travel through their required suspension arcs without binding, locking up and providing significant improvement to brake and steering response. #502216K$480 (Both Sides)
C219 REAR – CAMBER (and extra Toe to compensate)
Replacing the lower arm inner bushings (bush extraction tool included allowing to replace without need for arm removal).
Like front precise single wrench adjustment. Easily accessible, Also the advantage over upper arm adjustment is that adjusting lower arms retains important top of tire to outer fender clearance when adjusting to resolve costly, premature inner edge wear. #502526K $480 (Both Sides)
