Alignment on 2015 GL

Is there any practical way to change front caster and camber on a 2015 GL450? Are there any aftermarket parts to provide some meaningful adjustability?

Manufacture ‘2’ Front kits for the X166

#504116-2K $480 (Both Sides)

Replaces the front upper arm inner bushes, providing both Camber and Caster adjustment to resolve costly premature edge tire wear issues by allowing to spread load more evenly.

OEM there is only Toe “directional” adjustment.

Nothing to cater for other then showroom height conditions - high cambered roads, wheel squat through load carrying or lowering, fitting wide profile tires etc.

Kit comes with bush extraction tool, so can be fitted without the need for arm removal.



Second kit manufactured is

#503116P $695 (Both Sides)

Also Camber and Caster adjustable. Replaces the 4 “lower” arm inner bushes. The rear bushes are subject to premature failure and OEM are expensive to replace. Kit supplied with bush extraction tool - fit without need for arm removal.



FOR THE REAR:
#504026-2K $480Replacing the 4 lower arm inner bushings Camber (and extra Toe) adjustable. Doubles the existing adjustment range.

Delivery $40 one kit $60 Front & Rear

How do I order the kits and can you recommend or suggest a shop in Orange County CA to install them and perform a 4 wheel alignment?

Hi :

Can order by PayPal or over phone (1888 847 9099) Visa or M/Card.

Have attached instruction sheets for the front kits(2) and the rear kit

Allowing any local shop to fit and align.

No special tools required and fitment without need for arm removal.


Best Regards

Kevin
