@Kp1 - did you do the install yourself? I've noticed that my E550 only has one bolt, not two, in the strut/spindle assembly.
Also, do you recall what size mm bolt they sent you? The reason why I ask is because the Acdelco 45K18036 bolt they sent me is really skinny in diameter in comparison to the OEM bolt i have circled.

as far i as know only one bolt needs to be replaced. (did it come with 2 bolts per side or just one?)
thanks Chris , always thought it was more difficult and only can be done at a shop.

yes you are correct, only one bolt needs to be replaced. I'm gonna give it go now. I'll place a jack under the hub so that when I remove the existing bolt the assembly wont sag. That way I can easily push the new camber bolt into the strut/spindle holes.

NICEE thats what i do too , i use my 2 ton jack to lift the car up , and then the one that came with the car to hold suspension pieces in place or to raise or lower them to put bolts in/out
) PLEASE POST PICS , and your review on how did it go. i been debating if i should get those for a minute , and if all is good ima get them too. (cheaper than changing tires more often than needed)

I did install the camber bolts myself. I don't recall what diameter they are. The eccentric is the same diameter as the oem bolt and the rest of the camber bolt must necessarily be narrower or it wouldn't work.
I'm not sure that's the right application to adjust a strut like you have on that E550.

yeah I'm still going to torque the bolts down to proper spec. I'm not sure if I will be able to get any negative camber when all is said and done because I think these two lower bolts will not allow the spindle/knuckle to move. Even when I had the camber bolt in the positive orientation, as I would turn the bolt I didn't notice any change in camber. We'll see...
