Wow!! that's really great if you can make your own camber arm. I purchase 1 from Speedybenz and I love it.
I think it will cost you around $300+ to purchase from a member in MYMBONLINE.

Add another $10 or so for shipping. Not too shabby, just saved $200.
Then go to the hardware store and get eight thin 7/16" inner diameter fender washers for the sides of the nylon bushings to have a nice smooth plated surface to slide on. Use some petroleum jelly on the nylon bushings in the bore that slides on the center sleeve, and on the sides against the washers, so far they work great, no squeaking or anything, and the suspension feels nice and smooth.
You can use the stock bolts, inboard and outboard, and kept the stock safety retaining washer on the end outside of the fender washer and rod end sandwich on the outboard end, so that the new fender washer stays nice and flat.

Bumpie. Come and get it!
sorry a newbie on here, but how is this different from the stock mercedes control arms?
If your car is lowered, then there will likely be a negative camber of the wheel. Meaning instead of your wheel being like this: l the alignment of the wheel may look more like this: /
With an adjustable camber arm, you can extend/contact the arm to correct the camber due to the lowering.
Here ya go,

Nice post! Big kudos! I was trying to do this a few years back with heim joints, but I was having trouble finding the right link bar.
Save yourself $200!
all this extending/contacting the arm is done when an alignment is done right? or do i do it myself?
Measure eye to eye on your stock arm, recreate the measurement with the new arm. Then take your car into an alignment shop for them to put the persice angle in.

great post!!!
WOW perfect. THANK YOU , Now you should try and figure out a DIY for the fronts =D
Excellent find!
So with the two ends all the way threaded in, is it at stock camber?
This is really a good find. I think I'm gonna order this for my C280. I can use the $200 for install and alignment.
