Camber on S500
Hi,
I just had some new tyres put on my S500 (W220). I had the alignment etc checked as well and the technician who checked it told me the camber is out of spec and had I noticed the car pulling to the left. He showed me the wheel and to me it looked as if the top of the wheel on the drivers side is sloped slightly more inward to the body than the other side. It doesn't however seem much to me and I have not had any ill effects eg: it does not pull to one side, the tyre wore evenly etc.
I was wondering whether this is worth worrying about - he said it can only be rectified with a "cam kit" which would have to be provided by Mercedes.
Any ideas anyone?
Much appreciated.
