So many guys lower their cars without doing a proper alignment to insure proper handling and even tire wear.
The thing is even stock ride height will create uneven tire wear due to the lack of camber adjustment [it is what it is].
I'm installing a set of The Camber King adjustable upper control arms today. I have these installed on my lowered AMG E 63s wagon and they work great..
I have mine setup with stock OEM rubber bushings rather than the squeaky urethane bushings...
I am waiting on mine to arrive for my GLC 43 can't wait to get this thing lowered!!!
Bumping an older thread. I was searching for a way to adjust the rear camber on my GLC 63 after lowering it and came across the camber king threads. I ordered and received a set of the adjustable camber arms. I took the wheel off to look over the install and I'm a bit confused at how this will work out. The installation of the bar itself is simple enough but it seems like there are too many other things in the way that will interfere with my ability to actually adjust camber. Has anyone installed just these arms and been successful?
I only did the front with F1-Fabrications (Camber King setup). The alignment shop was about to get everything within spec all the way around and focused on Toe vs camber for everything. All looks great and handles like a dream! Good luck!
Sent a pm...getting these installed tomorrow any directions or tips? Any issues swapping the sensor over?
Only camber is adjustable with these right?
Hello CPD SLK - I have 2021 AMG GLC 63S coupe. I am interested in your outcome from installing CAMBER King kits into your GLC 63. Did you do both front and rear? Thanks.
For all GLC C43, 63S models do point out we manufacture a “TOTAL SYSTEM” when it comes to resolving the situation that there is only Front and Rear Toe directional adjustment OEM !
No Front Camber or Caster and no Rear Camber to adjust tire contact angles, spread load more evenly to resolve costly, premature edge wear.
It is all to do with the ever increasing speed of new car assembly lines.
At K-MAC we have the experience of being the longest established Camber and Caster kit manufacturers constantly designing developing, improving solutions..
SEE SPOILER RE LATEST Design Breakthroughs For The C43, 63S models (ALL Kits are for both sides):
Spoiler
#503316-2J $380 - FRONT Upper ‘A’ Arm Camber and Caster adjuster kit. Replaces the inner bushings. For security peace of mind not welded fabricated arms but retaining the original OEM hi-strength forged alloy arms.
#503416K $480 Front Lower Arm Camber and Caster adjuster kit. Replaces the 4 lower arm (highest wearing bushings) Again retaining the original OEM high strength forged alloy arms.
#503416-1i $345 Same as above but Camber only (less cost then one hi-performance tire).
NOTE: #503416K and #503416-1i are far and away most popular kits - Retaining original hi-strength OEM arms. Plus without “time consuming” need to remove upper or lower control arms. Also fast, accurate adjustment - ULTIMATE direct on alignment rack UNDER LOAD. Precise single wrench, Unlike trial and error difficult to access “upper arms” - which also “reduce” important clearance “top of tire to outer fender” when wanting to resolve premature inner edge tire wear.
#503416K Caster bushes also replace the OEM soft rubber bushes with Monoball / Self aligning allowing arms to still travel through their required suspension arcs. Dramatically improving brake and steering response.
REAR SUSPENSION:
#502226-1M $595 Upper Camber Arms. Including Extra TOE adjustment to compensate. Unlike other brands not soft extruded aluminum but hi-strength chromoly tube with long life performance bushings.
#502226K $480 Lower Arm Camber and Extra Toe adjustable bushes. Most popular kit - Using original hi-strength OEM arms. Same as K-MAC Lower Front bushes, replaces highest wearing, fit without time consuming need for arm removal or need for special tools.
REAR UPPER ARMS VERSUS LOWER ARM ADJUSTMENT:
#502226 Lower Arm easier access to install and ULTIMATE alignment - again easily accessible precise single wrench direct on alignment rack UNDER LOAD. Upper Arm difficult access and trial and error adjustment.
Also upper arm adjustment reduces important clearance “Top of tire to outer fender” when adjusting to resolve premature inner edge tire wear !
#502628K $480 Uprated performance bushings for the ‘6’ rear multi link arms. Less rear end twitch, flex, loss of traction. Especially when applying power to lane change / overtake.
