Hello all, I am going mad with my w164, I have alignment issue with my front wheels. Went to the shop for an alignment but they couldn't do it.

Because there is 3° negative camber on front wheels.. Don't know whats the issue, things that where changed prior to me going to the alignment shop where: both sides lower ball joints, and both tie rod ends (inner and outer). Lemforder parts..
Car wasn't in any accident, really don't know what's happening..Where do you set the camber on front end and why potentially is negative camber so out of specs? (As told should be max 1°)
Thanks

I believe that camber on the front is set where the control arms meet the chassis. But only if your car has camber bolts fitted , for most it’s a retrofit option .
