more camber fun

Reading a few posts I gather with some cheap merc bolt you can get small adjustment for the front suspension Camber.

I just had alignment done as had been pulling gently to the left (following camber) and didn't seem to have much straight line stability...

Camber all round is in spec but toe out a little on 3 of the 4 corners, it now still pulls to the left and wanders about far mare than I want seemingly quite camber sensitive.

The only thing different is left front camber is exactly midway between spec and right is towards the limit. I think if this drawing is accurate, if I add the bolts one side, I might be able to get right front in the middle and thus matching.... or move the left so it has more negative camber matching the right front.

Is there a preferred set up that works well on these cars? Last post on W221 I saw asked it the std bolt are the right ones, according to merc parts bod the S class ones are different but still cheap.
