There are two. Both camber and caster cannot be adjusted on our cars. The only thing that can be adjusted is toe. Wait for a vendor to make a post trying to sell you their adjustable control arms etc.
Seems there is one adjustment MB claims is not adjustable on the rear. Anyone know of this and can confirm or dispute?
Most European cars rear camber can be adjustable to a degree by changing out the shim. I know on some other Mercedes older models use shims to adjust camber. I don’t understand why this method doesn’t apply to all Mercedes models. I do know that my C63s and M4 do use shins to adjust rear cambers. I pretty sure the shims can bring in at least +/- .5 degree of camber. I has the Carbahn adjustable control arms installed. They also did the alignment and changed out my rear camber shims.

We manufacture a “Total System” when it comes to Front and Rear Camber, Caster, Toe adjustment for all Mercedes Models (1968 to 2021). Sedans, Coupes, AMG/Black, SUV’s and Lite commercials.
OEM there is only front and rear Toe (directional) adjustment. All to do with cost cutting and ever increasing speed of auto assembly lines (new car industry's best kept secret).
No “Camber and Caster” allowing to adjust tire contact angles, spread load more evenly. To resolve costly, premature edge wear. Which can also lead to higher impact, ruptured side walls and rim damage.
Unlike other brands KMAC unique patented design allows fast / precise “single” wrench adjustment (accurately under load direct on alignment rack).
Fixing it right the 1st time. No more ongoing trips to dealers or alignment shops or experimenting with constantly changing Tire brands.
Catering for other than “showroom height” conditions - High cambered roads, altering height, load carrying, fitting wide profile tires, curb knock damage.
Whether street or in the pursuit of front row of the grid lap times KMAC makes it.
