THANKS!

So those with the k-mac how much more tire life did you get?
Are they wearing more evenly now?

Does it handle better in the rain since more tread gripping road.

I sold my W212 about 3 years later and the tires still looked in good shape. By eliminating the rear camber, you're going to sacrifice cornering performance at high speeds - that's why track cars run negative camber.

For everyday driving though, you're not going to notice the difference The trade-off is well worth it. (unless you track your car or drive like a speed demon)

Hey guys, sorry to revive the thread... i'm going to install the kmac bushings on front and rear for camber adjustment. Is the install easy? Do I need to take anything apart prior to accessing the bushings? Where are the bushings located? Anything helps... trying to plan it out, thanks.

I only did the rear on my '13 E350 a few years ago. I remember only a couple bloody knuckles, penetrating oil, and close study of the included instructions. It isn't too hard; the second side will go faster than the first. No special tools that aren't included in the kit are needed. Jackstands work, a lift would make it way easier.

Hi

The front and rear Camber bushings also replace the highest wearing.

See Spoiler - have attached front and rear instruction sheets.

Latest upgrade is front now also no special tools or need for time consuming arm removal to fit.

Now fit on vehicle / bush extraction insertion tools included!

Easily access precise single wrench adjustment ULTIMATE - Direct on alignment rack (UNDER LOAD) !
