Need Help To Camber My E350
Hi All,
i have a complicated issue regarding my car.
I have a camber kit for my W212 E350 2012, i install one side, but i discovered that there is headlight level sensor in one side
I dont understant how people install their camber kit without refer to that point !!!! maybe US w212 versions runs without this sensor
In the moment if anyone here can guide me for any company can make a camber kit for W212 with holes to install my OEM light sensor i will be happy really.
i am really disappointment
Thanks

Hi bro,
i bought a camber kit its only 2 adjustble arms to replace the OEM arms.
once i replace one i figure out that there is a sensor on one side, the problem now how can i fix the sensor on the new adjustble arm ?
in the pictures tiy will see 2 small bolts mounting in the OEM camber to adjuste the headlight level and signal lights as well.
I think to drill the adjustble Camber Arm but its to thick.
Am wondring if there is any company sell camber kit with Auto Level sensor mounting i will be happy really.

Are you sure you are replacing the correct links? The replacement links in the picture kinda look like they could be lower links. I will look at the Mercedes EPC tomorrow to confirm you are headed in the right direction.
If you are replacing the correct links, you could fabricate a plate that the level sensor would bolt to and have the plate welded to the link at the proper location.
Welcome to the world of "bolt on-fits like a glove" aftermarket kits. After a couple dozen examples of this kind of B.S. one starts to get leery of aftermarket stuff. It's almost a surprise when something actually bolts up and works like it is supposed to without some kind of modification or "adjustment". Like the rear spoiler that I got for my SL from a vender on this site. The fit was so bad I just threw it in the trash. It would have cost more to have it fixed than what it sold for in the first place.

I finally got around to putting our E550 up and have a look. As the 550 has Airmatic, we have a sensor on BOTH sides. It amazes me that someone will start selling a kit without a whit of research as to the requirements of different models.
My suggestion of welding a plate to the link(s) still sounds viable. Welcome to the world of "tuning".

Has the vendor not responded to your contacts?
Without having the original link and the replacement next to each other I couldn't say, but you might be able to drill one hole for the locating dowel and another for the attachment bolt for the linkage mount instead of welding on a plate. The issue is whether the there is enough material at the end of the threaded link for a hole to be drilled and threaded without interfering with the end of the threaded part of the outer joint.
