Wheel alingment - help me read my report?
I've had my 507 lowered on H&R springs and also had a wheel alingment done today, below is the report:




My question is, are my figures considered within the normal range for a lowered C63 ?
Will I need camber bolts or fix up anything in my alingment that might cause some issues later on?

Thanks!

The much lower camber values on the right side are odd. Were you sitting in the car for the alignment? It may explain the out of spec cross values.

You could have dialed out more rear toe to reduce wear.

Yeah your camber values are strange.
How does the car drive? Do you pull to one particular side?

I haven't driven the car much after the alignment - it was done this afternoon only a few mins from home.

Also it probably is worth mentioning that I live in Australia and its a RHD car.

looks like you'll need camber bolts to get your cambers more even between the two sides. pull the left camber in and push the right camber out. The way it sits right now it should pull to the right pretty hard.

Maybe not considering their road grade slopes to the left...

if that's the case and they slope left then i'd try changing the offset to caster. probably throw 2 caster bolts in, pull the left in and push the right out. This should get the cambers closer and a good amount of caster pull to the right.

Either way. The camber shouldn't be that far off. Something is fishy.

Yeah, the roads slope left.

The guy that did the alignment said that the figures are within the specs specified by Merc for a stock standard car.

I think I'm going to get the camber / castor bolts and re-align the wheels.

It's actually out of spec for cross camber (difference between left and right) for both frond and rear. It shows that on your printout.

It's the front that's way off but showing the same anomaly in the rear.
