![Question](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I`ve noticed the the rear weels have negative camber (4 degrees aprox) I´m not confortable with that, so i was wandering if it comes from factory? can it be adjusted to 0 degress?

I'd ask the dealer alignment tech what the manual specifies.
Better yet take the vehicle in and have it checked.
I just looked at my vehicle and could not discern any negative camber.

Excuse my ignorance..... but, is negative camber when the wheels (when looked at from behind) look like they are carrying a lot of weight and are splayed out at the bottom?

Yes , insome vehicles you can adjust this, but at my local service station, they told me on the glc you cant change that, its supposed to give it more estability bla bla..

4 degrees of negative camber would be quite visually noticeable and would chew up the inside edge of the tyres at an alarming rate. It is a setting you expect to see on a track car not on a road car.
There is no visually discernible negative camber on the rear of my GLC while there is a small amount of visually discernible negative camber on the front.

On my other car, which I track, am running two and a half degrees of negative camber. And this setting is too much for purely street driving causing premature wear on the inner part of the tire tread.
Seems to me it would be wise to have your M-B dealer examine your rear suspension to see what's going on.

Common practice on race cars in order to maintain tire patch in turns and combat understeer.
