i have a 2005 clk500 with H&R springs and Bilstein shocks 19" rims and the rear tires are wearing out way too fast (inside)...any1 had experience with cambers please advise with what type of camber to get and where to get 'em from...thanks

I bought a kit off member Ghostrider. Helped camber but couldn't deal with the issue of squeaking. Ended up taking them off and thinking of switching to Kmacs. I know a couple other members who have the kit and I guess it's hit or miss with the squeaking. Waiting to get some more feedback on the Kmac's before pulling the trigger

I'm trying to return the Camber Kit, but if anybody wants to take it off my hands they are welcomed to. Some people don't mind the squeaking.

im going to be running a kmac on mine, that is if it ever comes in. sorry dynomite, still no word on the kmac. ill keep you posted.

dynomite05

you could hear it when your cruising under 10k rpms....The reason it bothered me so much is because I have to park in a parking garage at work. That echo in the garage made everything 10x louder. Kind of embarrassing! Check out the vid of the squeaking

im confused...your car was parked ???

Andy

dynomite05

Yes, in the vid my car was parked and i was just pushing the rear down. Thats the only way I could shoot the vid

M-bENZ

Andy

dynomite05

Yup

All you have to do is re-grease it once in awhile.

dynomite05

Tried it. Once with Deep Creep and once with something my mechanic used. Didn't work, wish it did!

dnguy344

sounds like kmacs is the way to go for my rear....my front have no problem at all...wonder how bad is the installation

dynomite05

Don't know, but if you try make sure you take some pics of the install..Maybe a DIY

Klinh

I tested drive my friend's C55 with K-mac camber installed front and rear. Let me tell you, the whole suspension felt really tighted up at least 30% because of the harder bushing compared to stock bushing. Installation look very easu for me. The kit came with tools to push out the old bushings.

dynomite05

Good to hear positive feedback bout the Kmacs

dnguy344

well if i do get them, i probably will bring to the shop n let 'em do it since alignment gotta done so mite as well...just hope it doesn't cost me an arm and 2 legs like it did when i switched my shocks n springs

dynomite05

Good luck. I think they only charged me $150 to install the kit

dnguy344

thanks...ill let you know how it goes it i do get them...but it'll probably b a while from now since i gotta get new tires and the cambers

saltydizzle

if you are planning on ordering the camber kit directly from KMAC, order it now. it takes them 2-3 weeks until the part is at your door...just an fyi.

Ghostrider

It's not really a squeak, but the heim joint pivoting with the motion of the car. Some just make more noise than others.

dynomite05

Not your fault, just got a noisy kit

dnguy344

thanks for the heads up...i saw some on eBay wonder if thats same one...u had 'em on right now, saltydizzle? if so how do u like 'em?
