I want to know what is the recommended OEM alignment specs for 2003 SL55 ? Front/rear camber/caster/toe/thrust .. Etc

Also, is there any OEM adjustment kit for the front ?
Does distronic and ABC needs calibration ?

Thanks !

For the front (only) you can purchase fluted bolts – but they are inaccurate having ONE ONLY OFFSET POSITION, providing 3mm (1/8”).

We saw the need therefore to design, manufacture and reinstate from the early ‘90’s front kits that provide up to “4 times” this adjustment range and are precise/accurate.

Along with similar rear – also providing Camber (and additional rear Toe adjustment to compensate for the new Camber facility). Advantage of the K-MAC rear bush design compared to adjustable “Camber Arms” is that to resolve premature inner edge tire wear Camber arms need to move “top of tire” outwards, diminishing all important clearance to outer fender – K-MAC moves bottom arms inwards and easier access allowing to be adjusted accurately (on car under load direct on alignment rack).

These unique patented design kits are “single wrench” adjustable. Not only providing “full/precise” adjustment but at the same time replace the ‘4’ front and ‘4’ rear highest wearing suspension bushings and with twice the load bearing area!

The front bushings are 2 axis/self aligning but without the oil and air voids of OEM. Result is noticeably improved brake and steering response. No modifications to fit - come with instructions and extraction/insertion tubes (Rear Camber can be fitted on vehicle).

Fixing it right the 1st time - day to day commuting with high cambered roads, altering height, load carrying, suspension sag, fitting wide profile tires or curb knock damage – the feature of having “Camber” adjustment to change tire “contact angle” is essential. Along with front “Caster” to correctly resolve steering pull and improve brake and steering response.

Shardul has really nice adjustable control arms for an R230. I've got them on my SL65, infinite camber/toe adjustments.

Up front, I modified my upper control arm ball joint to pull out some camber, do so at your own risk.

Here is the measurement from the hunter machine .. Is that normal? What could probably cause the car to wander ?

Also, the car everytime looses its toe adjustment after couple of days/week ?!

any idea how to adjust the ABC height to OEM from the SDS?
