Even if it did going more pos on the camber would help if you were wearing the inside edges on the tires.. and we all no c63 dont have that problem they wear very even on the rears... and with a heavy foot they wear FAST. Also if you pulled the camber in that much it would handle terriable in the rear

I just had a 4 wheel alignment done at my dealer and they pushed the Camber on all 4 corners to -1.9 (P30) using a different Camber Bolt. I may have the part # for the new bolts in my garage. will check when I get home later

That would be good to have Barry. Weird that the bolts didn't come stock because you can only adjust Toe if im not mistaken.

Part # on the bag the new camber bolts came in is A 018 990 00 01. Set of 4 (Don't order til I confirm the #'s)

Sorry. the #'s above are for Calliper Bolts. The Correct Camber Bolt Part # is 000-333-09-71. (Single bolt) Set of 2 needed. $59.30 for the set here in Toronto

No problem...Glad to help

Hold off on ordering and of these until I verify the part #s tomorrowor Monday. There were a few bags with part #'s that my Shop Foreman left for me and I want to make sure I am giving you the correct #'s. Something tells me I may be off.

UPDATE:
