Bolts for Front Camber Adj on Lowered W202?

[jmel777]

Just had alignment after lowering and the left front camber is -1.8 degrees and right front is -1.3 degrees. Both out of spec per the alignment shop.

Am I correct that there are new (aftermarket?) bolts that can be installed to correct this? I would need part numbers and where to buy as the local dealership has NO Clue (their main line is Buick and they only have one MB tech). Eibach does not make a set for this car, already tried.

There are eccentric camber bolts availble from the dealership. I believe you can get them from http://www.importec.com . If you enter in your make/model, and then go to Suspension, there is a section for Eccentric Bolt Kit. I haven't done this project yet, but I intend to. Maybe somebody who has done it can chime in on the details.

The only ones I could find are the originals that I assume are already on the car and have very little adjustment. Are you saying there is another version with more room for adjustment?

Just had the car aligned on a brand new computerized Mercedes rack and low and behold my lowered 202 is close enough to factory tolerance not to need any bolts. Also, the track is perfectly true. Time will tell with tire wear but this new highly accurate 175.00 per alignment rack says its OK. No bolts. But we did find the steering shock had leaked out.

SO, more money to assit in feeding the German and US economies. At least I am doing my part for global weath generation.

Thanks to all.
