E430 No alignment specs???

I have a 2000 E430 ( 210.070) . I cannot find a NON Mercedes shop to do a wheel alignment "CHECK" , as I need a safety done. No numbers come up on the wheel alignment screen. Mercedes shops refuse to give the numbers out? NICE !!!! What a joke.....( in my humble opinion)

Sometimes it takes a while to find the info you need.


Front:
Caster should be in the area of 5 to 5 1/2 degrees.
Camber -0.6 degrees plus or minus 0.3 degrees.
Toe-in 1 to 3mm per side. I prefer 0 to 1mm toe-in myself.


Rear:
Camber -0.9 degrees plus or minus 0.5 degrees.
Toe-in 0.7 to 2.8mm per side. I set mine to 1.5mm toe-in per side.


See my write-ups on my efforts. I performed the alignment myself. Not difficult, just takes about 3 hours and attention to detail.
