Suspension Settings for AMG

[moebiusgold]

My C43 settings when I first got it. (Bottom) I have changed the front toe to 2MM and will be reducing the rear toe when I reduce the rear camber to 1.5 to 2 Degrees.

That's quite a negative on the camber sides! :eek: :eek:

Yep, that's too negative. If I had higher profile tires (I'm seriously thinking of selling the 19" Zaubers) the front sould be OK as is but I would still reduce the rears to about -1.5 degrees. My C 36 is -1.5 all around and that seems to work pretty good.
The C43 has 5 dot spring pads all around and I wish it was not as low as it is. It looks cool but has some weird handeling because of that. AT 40 PSI the outside 1" of the rear tires doesn't even touch the road.

In the winter before I put my snow tires on I sild into a curb in the parking lot at slow speed I have bent something in the passagner side rear, the hit was hard enough to break a 1 inch chunk out of amg rims about 7 inches along the rim, I took it in for an alignment this is what my mechanic told me camber problem on the rear 1/4 neg on the right 1 1/4 Neg on the left although he could not find the bent part, is any thing bent or dose he not know how to do the alignment on my car, i figured i would start to replace the weakest part and move on from there although its going to cost me everytime to check the alignment is this something my dealer could figure out right away?

Andrew C280, you need to take your car to a place that specializes In 4 way alignments on Euro cars. Tru line in Seattle was able to point exactly at what was bent and straighten the frame on My C36 when I bought it. I had things like a bent spindle on the LF that I would have never found by your method.

Andrew,

I bought a complete set of Rear Suspension links when I was doing the R&D for my Camber Arms.

So let me know what you need and I will sell them cheap.
