Depending on how you drive, what tires, wheels you have, whether your car's lowered or not, the streets you drive on etc.

MB makes the bolts that will give you the adjustments necessary to completely eliminate the wear, if that's what you want and need. For me, I didn't go for the bolts, I did see them, touch them and feel them at my alignment shop, they come in a neat plastic bag with the OEM MB stickers and part number on them. I think I was told they're about $100, but not sure.

The most important thing about it is the alignment shop. If they're no good, all the bolts in the world aren't going to help you.

OK $100 for a set (4 botlts) or just for each ??

M-B’s MSRP is ~$14 for PN 000 330 00 18. #185 in the attached schematic.

Four of 'em will help to facilitate proper camber & caster adjustments.

I'm on the hunt for these camber bolts and no one knows what i'm talking about. Even big aftermarket shops can't find them for 100 bucks.
I Don't get it!
