I think a fully locking LSD (quaife) is your answer.

Since the mid ‘90 model’s, with the ever increasing speed of vehicle assembly lines there has been no front or rear Camber (or front Caster) adjustment facility fitted OEM


Only current adjustment is front and rear Toe!


We saw the need therefore to design and develop a system so that we could reinstate from the 1990's fully adjustable front (and rear) suspension to suit virtually all Mercedes models.


The K-MAC patented concept only requires a single wrench to allow precise (ongoing) adjustment to return vehicle to factory specs.


The four front replacement adjuster bushes and the four rear are also the highest wearing bushes.


The K-MAC unique design doubles the load bearing area. Are importantly 2 axis yet without the use of air voids.


Bonus is reduced wheel hop, improved traction, braking and steering response.
