Need to get camber kit for my rear. Oddly enough I have positive camber so my wheels sit really off like this :

lol that was pretty funny.
i need a camber kit for my rears too. but $900 for a kit is kind of ridiculous..

Depends on how many sets of rears you go through in a year.

djrabbi

I go through 3 sets and thats from March lol

Have you tried flipping tires side to side every 5k miles or so?

My CLS55 is lowered via STAR and I can get an easy 10k by flipping them.

Sounds like someone slid the backend around and hit a curb. Have you looked for a bent trailing arm or control arm?

djrabbi

I looked at the control arm and it seems straight...

lowprofile

OK. Just doesn't make sense to me. Something is amiss back there.

djrabbi

Is there a way i can see exactly? I took it to MB and they shrugged their shoulders like i dunno?

lowprofile

If it's minor, I doubt you will pick up on it with your eye. My guess is either a bent hub, bent control arm, or a bent subframe.

djrabbi

The car vibrates over 60MPH cause of this also

AgSilver

What are your actual camber measurements in degrees? I have my rear set at 2.16 deg L&R. This was accomplished after resetting the ride height about 1" lower then factory.

I asked MB to forward me a copy.

I vote for bent lower control arm too.

HeissRod

Won't work if the tires are asymmetrical.

djrabbi

I have the micheline PSS

HeissRod

See how the tread is not the same all the way across the tire? There is a specific inner and outer side to the tread, specifically noted by Michelin. You flip that tire on the wheel and the tire is no longer functioning as it's designed; most notably, expelling water.

djrabbi

Sorry its PS A/S

HeissRod

Then they're unidirectional. You can swap those left to right, then.

Just don't swap the entire wheel/tire left to right.

djrabbi

I am going to get it aligned at a speed shop and balance all wheels... hopefully it will fix the problem.

Agreed,I'm guessing somthing is bent as well. suspension parts typically shrink and don't streach from a impact. Being positive camber its not going to be a upper arm. A lower control arm is a cheap/easy place to start. You won't nessasarly see it being bent. A spindle or subframe is obviously more involved.

djrabbi

would anyone have a part number for this?

Toadster

that's what she said

djrabbi

That is what your wife said to me, I was just repeating

Here are my specs.
