How long should it take to install a camber kit?

K-Mac front camber kit.

It's taken the dealer 3 days. Yes, three days to install a front camber kit for my benz. They said they they needed to remove the springs to relaese the tension on the control arms...which is undertsandable. Anyway, after talking, they brought it down to 1.5 hours per side, or 3 hours total.

Is 3 hours sound about right?

Do you have a link to the K-Mac kit? I'm interested to see what the difference is between that and the Factory Kits.

Generally, Dealers charge about 1.5 hrs for an alignment, and 0.5 for installation of each alignment correction bolt. CLK's take a max of 4 correction bolts. In most cases 1 or 2 bolts are necessary.
