Front Camber

[pisit]

I lower te car pretty much, like 3 inch and the angle of the front camber became a lot more negative than the standard setting. Does anyone knows how i can set the camber on the front? or any after market products that can fix this issue.
Also i was suggested by my local suspension shop that i should be changing the front upper arm pretty soon; so i did some research and come up with two different part numbers, they mention that the front upper arms from the E-Class (w210) are compatible to the w202, any comments?
these are the part number
Left side
202 330 48 07 = 210 330 87 07
Right Side
202 330 49 07 = 210 330 99 07
thanks for any comments

poly bushings are a good replacement, search and you will find it, and jeff was looking into something for front camber, there was an old post but I am not sure how far he got with his cad work

[pisit]

thank for the reply, currently I'm using the poly bushings from LPD Autoparts for the front control arm. any idea that i can find for the upper arms?
yeah remember seeing the post about Jeff deisgn one as well, but seem he is hand full with the rear camber adjuster now.

there are camber bolts that supposedly help with camber, but I've heard mixed reviews of them. Some say they work some say they don't. I bought them when I lowered my car, but it wasn't low enough where I had that much negative camber. If you want to try the bolts let me know I'll sell them for $30 shipped. I got them at the dealer for about $40.

do you have the part number?

Part numbers would be helpful for the front camber kit from MB. Thanks.

camber bolts are used to "finely tune" the camber ever so slightly on stock suspension. there is really not that much adjustment with them. so if your lowered then they COULD help out a little but don't expect the camber to be back to OEM settings by any means. the only way to adjust the camber is with speedybenz's arms on the rear as you guys know! for the front - sorry nothing yet but i just saw a post where Jeff is coming up with an idea for the front, so hopefully we can adjust the front soon!

Yeah, the adjustment is like half a degree or something.

Yeah the camber bolts are part no. 202-330-01-18. The ones I installed fixed my negative camber after lowering. I havent had an alignment in about 9,500 miles so Im not sure how its holding up. The price is $14 per kit(need 2), or $11.50 if you have a business account ;).

Order from K-Mac for your camber kits. ;)

c55m8o, yeah i just checked that thread. it was indeed from october 2003. i just saw the thread on the "new posts" and assumed it was a new topic as i didn't pay any attention to the date. thanks for correcting me on that!
