Ha! I'm not sure about the quality of these but as I recall, my manual says if my rear camber is out of tolerance, I must have wrecked my car and should replace it. Ha! No adjustment? Really? I'm sure if I bought new factory parts, it would still be out of tolerance.
I'm a mechanical engineering professor and do wheel alignment research. My E320 CDI has been measured 300+ times and I would love to adjust it into "the green". I may buy a set just to see how it looks.
Ha! Or better yet, send me set for free and I'll report back on it.
Either way, I'm glad somebody is supplying these. I think the non-adjustable approach of MB and the large tolerances is a cheap trick to avoid labor costs and pass it on as a customer tire expense.

Peter
