Hey guys I've been thinking of buying a pair of adjustable rear toe links from mb arts for my c32. Has anyone ever installed them or even the adjustable camber arms? I've tried contacting them but haven't had a reply back yet. I was curious to how much adjustment the toe links will allow for. My car has alignment issues and Matt at AMG performance, inc. believes this is the solution to my problem. Any feedback would be helpful! Thanks guys

If the stock adjustment bolt isn't enough to properly adjust your rear toe, it only means something is bent. Having aftermarket adjustable arms will provide more adjustment, but that is only covering the issue

i'm thinking of buying the toe links to match my camber arms.
i'm curious how much of an adjustment they give compared to factory toe links?
is it a wider adjustability to give a perfect fine tuning vs factory rods?

There’s plenty of toe adjustability in the OE links.
I’ve reduced inner tire wear and increased stability by dialing in additional toe as the geometry tends to deflect out under acceleration torque/anti-squat loading.



Static fore and aft camber is of course directly altered by ride height.
~-2° is preferred for sporty W203 cornering. Increased inner wear is the inevitable result during mundane motoring however.
Aftermarket camber links are fun to play with and can 'pay for themselves' through savings at your rubber purveyor though.

I replaced the control arms a few months back. I am not the original owner and the car was in an accident in 2004. Being that this is my 2nd C32, I know it just isn't right. I've taken the car to the dealership and a benz specialist. They both said everything looked good and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't align. Luckily Matt and AMG Performance, Inc. is trying to help me find a solution. I'm hoping for some insight before I buy the kit.

What are its current alignment measurements?

Benzaddict32

Currently the right rear camber is -1.0 degree and the right rear toe is -1.87. The left rear camber is -1.8 and the left rear toe is .27.

your alignment is all over the board, unless you have a bent rod, you should be able to adjust toe easily.

thats pretty ignorant for them to say it wont align and they see nothing wrong. Your best bet is to start with a r/r knuckle. re-check alignment then move on to lower control arm and possibly subframe if necessary. Any of the other links will cause more negative camber not less.

I run on my C55 the SPC camber bushings that adjust camber and adjust the proper wheel set back

Hey guys just an update, the guys at mb arts called back and made a custom pair of toe links for my car. It took them a little while to make them but they were well made. Though one of toe links was not short enough, Matt at AMG Automotive was easily able to shave it down. After, the rear aligned perfectly and drives much better. I'm still waiting on camber bolts and need to get a new set of tires but it should be perfect after. Thanks for the help fellas, I'll see some of you at MIR.
