Camber Adjustment
Hi guys, after lowering my CLS 500 about 1.5 inches and putting 20" wheels on it, the camber in the rear wheels is off substantially. You can visually see the rear wheels leaning towards the center. I took the car to Mercedes and they said they can't do anything because the car has been lowered. I took it to a tire/alignment store and they printed me off a sheet from their tech book that says the rear camber is not adjustable on the CLS. I have to fix this, the car looks goofy and will inevitably chew away the inside of my rear tires etc... What has everyone else done? Does anyone have any advice/tips? Thanks.

You Will need to replace the fixed rear links with a ADJUSTABLE links
I have them on My MBs and they work great for lowered cars..NO more camber issues..Longer rear tire life!
Do a search on Speedybenz and HOP They offer them!
They are a Direct replacement..Then back to the Alignment shop

Hi Mark, speedbenz says they take 3 weeks to get you your order and they want $250! Then they say 3 hours of install time. Paying a suspension shop 3 hours for custom work plus the alignment and the cost is going to be about a $500 solution that will take 3 weeks. What's that hop place you mentioned? Anyone make them for less? Does it really take that long to install? Thanks.
