03 CLK55 AMG
K-MAC Adjustable front Bushings
Picked up my 03 CLK55 from Clarence Brown Alignment Services (CBAS), San Diego, CA. CBAS installed and adjusted the K-MAC adjustable front bushings (502216K) and aligned the front end. The CLK now has camber adjustment. 
The factory setup caused the outside edges of the tires to wear excessively. Recently installed Bilstein PSS9 coilover adjustable suspension kit, 15mm front and rear hub centric billet aluminum spacers (www.EZAccessory.com) and M12 x 1.5 x 55mm, R12 ball seat lug bolts (www.radusadirect.com). Ride quality is significantly improved, steering input is instant and responsiveness is fantastic. Car tracks perfectly and the front end feels like it is locked on rails. Replacing the fluid filled OEM bushings with the K-MAC urethane bushings makes the steering and suspension feel more precise and taunt. Tossing the car in the long sweeping freeway on ramps is fun. The car feels like a go-kart. 
The CLK55 has always been fun to drive but now daily commutes are a blast!
