Cam Bolts for 2011 ML350 Front

Hi all,

My front right wheel camber is off by around -3%. The service shop isn't finding any broken components, though they did say something may be bent. Given the age of the car and its mileage (250,000+), it wouldn't be worth guessing and checking by replacing any suspension components. However, they suggested that a camber bolt may be able to at least get the wheel back to spec.

Can anyone help me identify the appropriate camber bolt to purchase for this car? Alignment shop said they're happy to swap out the bolts, but I just need to order them myself (they don't stock them).

Thanks!

To get the correct bolts and washers for the Lower Transverse Cont. Arm, you will have to appear at a dealer with your vin#.

Thanks for the response! I'm surprised to hear that only an MB dealership would have the appropriate bolts -- are you saying that no aftermarket product will work? I'm going to call my dealership today, though I suspect I'll be paying 10x from a dealership, no?

How am I supposed to know if aftermarket bolts can be used. That's up to you to decide.

That must be forum-speak for "I don't know." Thanks for providing the screenshot on the parts- I'll connect with my dealer.
