I just took my GLC 63s in for it's 10,000 mile maintenance as I was leaving the SA said it will take a couple of extra minutes as there is a suspension update.
I told her to skip any updates I didn't know if this would prevent my Amazon lowering module from working. Anyone know anything about the update?
and yes...my SA is a female and it looks like she could be a model if she wanted to...

I haven't seen anything on the TSB reports.
I just got my camber adjustment kit in. Going to install this weekend maybe. Looking to get rid of the tire wear situation and still have that slammed look again. Ive loved the ride at stock ride height but the look isnt as appealing.

I swear, my tires didn't wear any differently being lowered. I have never gotten 9500 miles out of tires on an AMG until now.

depends how long the car was lowered... I was lowered from 0 -10,000 miles. Fronts had wires showing at 9000 and outside tire had tons of tread. Rears are still alright at 15,000 miles. I have maybe 1500-2000 left in them.

here’s the front and rear kit:
I would be way happy with those numbers. I used to get 7k on my GLE63S so 9.5k seems like a bonus. I have never gotten 15k off any Summer tires.
Because of GLC models only having front and rear TOE (directional) adjustment.
NO FRONT CAMBER AND CASTER OR REAR CAMBER TO RESOLVE COSTLY, PREMATURE EDGE TIRE WEAR (not even front "one offset position" Camber / Caster bolts).
We saw the need therefore to re-instate from the 90's full front and rear adjustment. Same time replacing the 4 front and rear highest wearing bushings.
Front Camber and Caster, rear Camber (and extra Toe). Precise single wrench adjustment, accurately (under load, direct on alignment rack).
CATERING FOR OTHER THAN SHOWROOM HEIGHT CONDITIONS - day to day commuting encountering high cambered roads, wheel squat through lowering or load carrying, fitting wide profile tires/wheels, worn bushings, curb knock damage and the capability to correctly resolve steering pull!
AGAIN THE OFTEN QUOTED REASSURING:
"FULL FRONT AND REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT" - REALLY MEANS JUST THAT!
OPTIONS AVAILABLE/MANUFACTURED: FRONT ADJUSTABLE CAMBER & CASTER #503416 K $480
(LOWER ARM BUSHING KIT ALSO IMPROVED BRAKE AND STEERING RESPONSE)
REAR ADJUSTABLE CAMBER (& EXTRA TOE) #502226 K $480
(BUSHING KIT)
NOTE: Above KMAC Front upper wishbone inner bush kit is designed so can be fitted without arm or front wheel removal
ALSO MANUFACTURED
Uprated replacement bushings for the '6' multi link rear suspension arms - less twitch/flex loss of traction. Especially when applying power to lane change/overtake. #502628 K $480
Way more expensive than what I paid. Sorry KMAC. I’ll have better results with the one I purchased.
Unfortunate - as we do offer BETTER RESULTS (AND PRICE).
KMAC Front "upper wishbone adjuster" not just Camber but importantly "Caster" as well to cater for the new Camber settings also allowing to correctly resolve steering pull (along with half the time to install).
Also not to void warranty, KMAC is not welded, fabricated steel but retaining the security, integrity (and peace of mind) of the existing OEM/factory forged alloy high strength arms.
While KMAC rear - not just Camber but extra TOE as well - necessary to compensate for the additional Camber settings.
KMAC Rear unlike your upper arm adjuster also retains important clearance top of tire to outer fender when adjusting to reduce premature inner edge tire wear.
As mentioned in previous reply GL suspension there is no facility for crash bolts. Besides they only offer inaccurate one offset position - and a minimal 1/8" (0.3 degree).
While KMAC front and rear adjusters provide up to 1.5 degrees Positive or Negative and are precisely accurate (direct on alignment rack under load)
Damn dude you "flippin' switches" on that last pic ?? Min looks like pre-set low setting. Odd looking filter you are using on those pix as well. @KingMoonpie - keep us in the loop about your cheaper than KMAC fix as most of us are curious.
