Happy to share my experience, make sure if you install the slotted bolts when tighten only turn the nut on the bolt as otherwise turning the bolt itself wi sheer the guides inside the bushes.

Incredibly useful video, i am learning more and more about cars everyday even tho it's my job, i learn more everyday. This video is perfect. It perfectly explains how the camber bolts work and not just how to install them. I was looking for info on how they work and how to adjust them and this is the only video that gave me every mething I needed. Love this guy.

Hello, many thanks for this video. Indeed I was looking to understand how to potentially correct camber on my W211 and couldn't find this information easily. I just replaced the lower spring arms and the lower torque struts with a new Lemforder kit and with my ignorance I just installed it back with the original bolts. I will soon get my alignment check and see if I need this camber correction or if it's fine with the original bolts. In the meantime I'm going to check your other video to rebuilt the original MB arms that I kept. Greetings from France

I needed to see this video so much because I have a caster issue on my w203 chassis Mercedes Benz C220 Coupe.... I rang Mercedes and they do have this for both front arm (caster) and rear arm (camber) and the bolts for my car anyway are only £10!!! I was shocked as it's a bargain!!

Great video! I plan on changing the camber bolts as soon as I can get hold of some. I have a w212 with a knocking noise from the front when going over rough surfaces. I've changed the drop links, but it didn't help. My usual workshop guy says to change everything in one go, including the shocks, I think he doesn't know what the problem is. Any ideas what could be the reason for the knock? Thanks.
@dn0682 Жыл бұрын
On w212 suspension is different more precisely Mc Pferson, knocking can be fron top struts mount as they have integrated bearings, also check balljoint and drop links.
@tariqkhan-kiyani3948 Жыл бұрын
@@dn0682 Thanks for the pointer. The drop links have been replaced, but that didn't resolve the issue. I have asked the mechanic to check the top mounts, he says they look fine. Is there a particular way of checking these, or would they have to be taken out in order to assess them?
@dn0682 Жыл бұрын
If the top mount is faulty then will make noise when let's say going on a speed bump and once on top of it suspension is fully compressed then on the descent part suspension and wheels are relaxed and there should make noise if faulty.

Yes as springs will push and if mount has play knocks as is not solid enough because it has bearings and moving flanges.

Hello, an 1.5 negative camber is accepted by Mercedes repair manufacturer, can't have 0 camber as the car suspension wasn't designed like that. The kit only reduces excessive camber.

Hallo. The sway bar link balljoint need to be pressed out and for that you need a hydraulic press and some adapter to go over the balljoint and press out. There is another method to use brute force by hammering out the balljoint from the nut side.

Are the camber bolts for the rear, where can I purchase these and do I only need to bolts for rear camber adjustment on my w219. It eats the insides of the rear wheels.
@dn0682 Жыл бұрын
For the rear you need suspension arms upper changed and the rose bush ,the swivel bushes , there is no adjustable camber bolt yet available. I know aftermarket there are some adjustable upper suspension links but I haven't used and can't comment. I suppose you have air suspension and if so depends how low the car seats, the lower more negative camber more wear.

Depends how bad the other arm bush and balljoint is , there are different bushes for the aluminium arm wich controls the caster, they need to be more flexible as is more movement in the bush. I personally bought new arms as balljoint is not replaceable and changed the bushes that they came with to the Lemforder ones, I am in Essex and I can help to have the bushes pressed and also to buy the right ones.
