2001 W215 - CL500 alignment questions
Took my car (2001 CL500 not sport) in for some new tires (Continental same size as OEM tires). The alignment operator was unable to get the camber adjustment any better than
Left front -0.9 (red or bad)
right front -2.5 (red or bad)
left rear -1.4 (but this was green or good)
right rear --2.2 (red or bad)
total toe on rear was bad -0.83 (red or bad)
He mentioned something about getting a camber kit to be able to finish alignment.
My questions:
How bad are these readings?
What part(s) are causing this to be bad?
Is there such a kit available? cost? Is it better to get the kit or repair whatever is causing these issues?
Thx not very informed on steering linkage parts and would appreciate hearing from others more knowledgeable than myself.
