Front Camber W202

[bigasotonuk]

Hi,
Does anyone have any experience of adjusting the front camber on a W202?
In normal use, would this require adjusting? or is it because the wheel has taken a hit, to put it out?
The reason why i have asked this is because the last 3 times my car has been tracked the N/S front wheel camber is out of tolerance (only just).
For information i have replaced both the lower wishbones, shock absorbers, steering damper, drag link, and all the steering joints.
Any help would much appreciated.

Camber is adjusted by using special bolts that offset the front lower wishbone bush by 20". The rear wishbone bush adjusts castor. The bolts have to be bought from MB and are a bit awkward to explain fitting - not a job to do on the driveway unless your confident with this sought of thing.

yes but should it need doing through normal use?
cos to me the camber adjustment is for fine tuning the suspension for specific use. To me the fact that the measurement is out and everything is of standard specifications surely this means i,ve got something worn or bent?
If the lower does castor, is there an upper wishbone that sets the camber?

It would have needed doing when replacing the lower wishbones.

Was the camber out before you replaced the wishbones and was it checked at that point?

hi,
It was out before replacing lower wishbones replaced cos their was slight wear on one of inner bushes on one side thought this maybe why camber was out,
