alignment specs

[james webster`]

Do you guys have a recommended performance alignment spec for a '99 C43?

On other cars i've had i have always run maximum +caster and some -camber and zero toe in. Is the caster adjustable on the C43?

[james webster`]

anyone ?

The simple answer is, yes caster is adjustable.

As to what extent, I only have a partial answer:

Per MB dealership procedures there are "camber repair" bolts available for the C43. These camber repair bolts adjust camber in conjunction with caster, in what I understand to be a non-linear relationship.

Hey SPEEDYBENZ what would you recommend for a good street/performance alignment?


I set the alignment on my other car at about 1.5* positive caster, 1.5* negative camber and zero toe in. Do you think this would be good on the C43? What do you run?

I'm not an alignment expert, but 202 front toe usually runs 0*25' rear toe 0*33'
front camber -1*00' rear camber -1*30'
I dont know about the caster specs, I would guess the front be slightly positive just to improve steering responce and still have a properly functioning self-centering steering system.
