PERFORMANCE AMG - YET NO FRONT OR REAR CAMBER ADJUSTMENT
Yes AMG conjures up “Performance”. But reality is still a “mass produced” vehicle with
speed of production - cost / efficiency still the underlying criteria !
Hence still soft rubber suspension bushings and no Front “Camber” and “Caster” or
Rear Camber adjustment - only basic Front and Rear ‘TOE’ - directional adjustment
But essential to be able to dial in extra neg. Camber for performance handling or Track days.
Dramatically reducing understeer - deeper into the corners with increased traction and braking response.
Yet just as essential for day to day commuting - having the advantage of ongoing individual
adjustment to cater for varying road or load conditions. Allowing adjustment of tire contact
angles to spread load more evenly therefore resolving costly, premature excess edge tire wear.
K-MAC kits are also designed to require no special tools or
time consuming need to remove control arms to install !
Plus Unique Patented Design also allows ultimate adjustment -
Easily accessible, single wrench - direct on alignment rack UNDER LOAD !
Both Front and Rear adjuster kits - bushings are also “uprated” for
Performance handling and significantly improving Brake and Steering response !

W222 ‘S’ SERIES (ALL INCL. 63/65 AMG)
FRONT SUSPENSION:
CAMBER (ONLY) #503016-1K $480 (Both Sides)
(Less than one quality tire)
CAMBER & CASTER #503016N $695 (Both Sides)
BEING A HEAVY VEHICLE THE ABOVE CAMBER AND CASTER BUSHES (ALSO REPLACING THE 4 FRONT HIGHEST WEARING).
CASTER BUSHES ARE MONO BALL / SELF ALIGNING. SIGNIFICANTLY IMPROVING BRAKE AND STEERING RESPONSE.
REAR SUSPENSION
CAMBER & EXTRA TOE #502626L $545 (Both Sides)
NOTE: ABOVE K-MAC FRONT & REAR KITS - UNIQUE Patented design allows ultimate adjustment, easily accessible single wrench.
Direct on alignment rack UNDER LOAD.
ALSO FOR PERFORMANCE / IMPROVED TRACTION:
UPRATED BUSHINGS FOR THE ‘6’ REAR MULTI LINK ARMS
#502928K $480 (Both Sides)
Tauter response. Less rear end flex, loss of traction. Especially when applying power to lane change / overtake.

New car industry’s best kept secret - the often quoted re-assuring “Full Front & Rear ‘4’ Wheel Alignment” is now only basic TOE - “directional” adjustment.
Onus now back on owners themselves to fund costly premature tire purchase because of excess edge wear.
Today it is all about speed of production lines, cost / efficiency and therefore now only one Camber setting - “to suit showroom height” conditions !
No more ongoing adjustment for curb knock damage or to counter excess passengers side edge tire wear through high cambered roads.
Excess “inner edge” wear / Camber change both sides - caused by altered height - load carrying / lowering or spirited driving - and excess “outer edge” wear !
