I like it. Where did you buy the vinyl film for the wrap? I'm planning to do the same to mine but don't know where to buy them. Also, did you get an alignment after the drop?

I was contemplating painting them but might re-consider now...with the vinyl wrap. Did you install any camber kits on your ML? I dropped mine with lowering links and need camber kits now.

We manufacture Front and Rear Camber, Caster adjuster kits to suit virtually every model of Mercedes Benz.

SUV's there is only Front TOE (directional adjustment) OEM.

We therefore saw the need to re-instate from the early 90's full, precise adjustment capability. Essential - ALLOWING TO CHANGE TIRE CONTACT ANGLES to resolve costly, "extra load/wear", and premature failure on the inside edge of tires and to improve traction.

CATERING FOR OTHER THAN "SHOWROOM HEIGHT" CONDITIONS - Day to day commuting encountering high cambered roads, altered height/wheel squat through sagged suspension - load carrying or lowering. Fitting wide profile tires/wheels. With ongoing adjustment for curb knock damage and being able to correctly resolve steering pull!

FIXING IT RIGHT THE 1ST. TIME. No more ongoing trips to dealers or alignment shops (or constantly changing tire brands in the belief that somehow this will alter the inner edge tire wear)


For the W166/X incl. AMG we manufacture 2 front adjuster kits.

One for normal height, other if lowered 1 1/2" or more.

These kits replace the '4' lower arm, highest wearing inner bushes (the '2' rear are prone to premature failure and OEM are expensive to replace).

Providing Camber (precise single wrench) and Caster adjustment.

Kit is supplied with bush extraction tool and no need therefore to remove arms from vehicle

Similar kit for the rear (replacing the 4 lower arm, highest wearing bushings).

We manufacture the rear also even though there is rear upper arm adjustment OEM. As many requests for additional adjustment. Rear also with bush extraction tool.


W166/X, W251, C292:
Front Camber and Caster #504016 M $595
Extra Adjustment #504016-1N $695
Rear Camber and Toe #504026 K $480

Delivery $30 one kit, ($50 F/R).

PayPal, Visa or M/Card

Your website does not list any ML's
Also will this kit work on a 2014 ML63 you stated it's not for AMG.
This is an AMG section of this forum

Where did you get the lowering module? Been thinking of doing this mod on my ML63.

Email this guy and he can get you the lowering module. It’s super cool and easy, it’s just a puck that plugs in to the OBD2 and you adjust it on the nav screen, unplug and it’s done! There’s 3 setting to choose from: stock, low (-1.5”), & custom (as low as you choose). Mines on custom because I wanted it pretty low.
Here’s his email: shamaichart@icloud.com

Looks good!

Did you wrap your rear diffuser yourself? Front lip as well?

Thanks! No I had it done professionally. The door handles and window trim is easy to DIY but the other stuff is out of my league.
