Alignment? Caster and Camber bolts?

I need to get an alignment on my e63. I have waited long enough and I figure it was time.

I am running 1, 3 in back on my elm and my front wheels have some pretty bad camber. I have some otehr amg models with alignment doen and the camber still looks pretty bad.

Will an alignment fix this alittle? If not what will? Also the dealer is stating I might need caster and camber bolts but iti almost doubles the price of the service.

Are they necessary and do they do anything?


any help would be great

I had to get the bolt kit on my E320. You can get this done for a lower price at another shop. I got the bolt kit, and had it done non-dealer. I needed 3 bolts, ran $75 for the kit itself.

It will cure vibration, that will get on your nerves at over 60MPH.

I have all 4 but the help is minimal. The only way is to modify your arms or replace with modded ones.

Ling mentioned closing the toe to help with that wear, so i will try it, since I had a slight open toe.

The bolt kit won't do much. You might want to consider the K-mac kit.

Who installs them in the BA?

Looks like K1 sells the kits.
