eccentric bolt for front axle alingment

anyone know where this bolt is located, and how it works? I need to adjust the camber on one side of a customer's car (one side has greater camber than other, and dealership will not touch it). It is a 2002 CLK430.

Thanks!

Yes, factory has a set of camber bolts. However its only good for 1 degree. If your car has more than 1, you'll need the K-Mac set

The bolts DO NOT come insallted from the factory. You will need to buy them at your dealers service dept.

I already know that, they car has them installed according to the dealer records. I just need to know HOW to adjust them.

if it's installed, its in the same location as the stock bolts they are on tthe lower a-arm that bolts to the body. You losen them up, and you turn them. You are going to need alignment machine to do it correctly.
