2002 CLK430 Alignment specs?

Just got it aligned and front toe is set .10" that inches not degrees or seconds, per side, it just seems a lot to me. Does anyone have a list of all the alignment specs for the car?
So front total toe is .20 and rear is .27, and .25 is a 1/4 inch so ?

Since doing a major search on this, I have found there is no information at all on this. Some sort of super secret.

You're kidding, right?

Google is the most popular search engine in the world. Googling "W208 factory alignment specs" returned www.fitzhughmedia.com/MBF/align.html at the top. Rumor has it that page was built 10 years ago because people kept complaining they couldn't find factory specs.

No, it's not a supper secret.

Admittedly, a forum search does have numerous limitations (e.g. results on any of the key words).

However, I'm still very surprised the results, your "major" search did not provide the information you needed.

The 1st generation CLK has been around for more than 15 years now, with just about everything you need to know, has already being documented on the net.

The good news, is that it's fairly bullet proof.

I've noticed that you have had prior issues with search.

My suggestions would be; to read through the W208 wisdom that Marcus has generously provided or use Google in advanced mode (e.g. provides the ability to search by domain, but more importantly, as well as exact terms)
