Camber Adjustment
Hey guys,
I have rubbing issues in the rear and was told a camber kit should help fix the issue. I am lowered on Eibach springs - 2012 E550 coupe and have a lot of rear negative camber.
I was able to find three products related to camber adjustment. All three are very different products and prices and need help.
MB Arts - approximate $400 - rear only
http://mbartsperformance.com/MBA-207-ARCA.html
Renntech - approximate $1200 rear only
http://www.renntechmercedes.com/www/node/887
K-Mac - approximate $500 rear + option for front ($500)
http://www.k-mac.com/pages/newprods/...ercedes_04.htm
All three are very different but do any of you have recommendations, suggestions, or experience with these products?

Ok...
MB-arts does not make a camber arm for my car. They make camber arm for W212 without the sensor. That option is gone.
K-Mac quality concerns - falling apart in the rear due to power of E550
Renntech - no way I am spending $1200 plus shipping for two bushings
So... Unless you can spend $1200 for rear camber bushings, I could not find any other alternative solution to adjusting the rear camber on a 2012 E550 coupe

Hi Venom,
RE: K-MAC
The very latest design front and rear K-MAC Camber, Caster, Toe Kits provide precise adjustment up to 1.75 degrees (positive or negative) allowing you to get back to factory specs. Have been tested to take 650 BHP at the rear wheels. Come with bush extraction and insertion tools and detailed instructions.
Regards,
-C

Good morning from Cape Canaveral, Florida. I have the same excessive negative camber issue and wondered how much time is involved in changing the rear upper adjustment arms to the ones you recommend. Thank you

Hi
Can check out Youtube video 2004 Mercedes SL500 adjustable rear camber arms by MrMarco6900
Shows fitting adjustable upper arms. (This K-MAC kit now also includes “extra” Toe adjustment).
But…. as can be seen is difficult access and time consuming (Plus also to precisely Wheel Align).
We therefore only recommend if wanting to increase (not reduce) Negative Camber, Example wider tires angling in and clearance to outer fender !
We have the experience of manufacturing adjuster kits longer than any other brand. For your 2014 E350 (W212) best solution to obtain rear Camber adjustment (plus extra Toe to compensate) is P/N 502126K at $480 (is cheaper - also delivery worldwide Express air being $40).
Plus being lower arm adjustment - replacing at same time the “rear highest wearing bushings” and easy access - no need for time consuming control arm removal or special tools !
Provides up to 2 degrees “extra” Positive or Negative Camber. More than enough to resolve any costly premature tire wear issues.Track days can quickly adjust for maximum traction.
ULTIMATE WHEEL ALIGNMENT - Accurate direct on alignment rack UNDER LOAD. Easy access, single wrench, fast precise adjustment !
See Website re Front & Rear “TOTAL SYSTEM” manufactured.
