I recently took my CLK320 to a local independent to replace both lower ball joints & 4-wheel alignment on their Hunter setup. The feel of the car has noticably improved but its not 100% perfect. I've noticed that it now follows the camber of the road a lot more & the steering is'nt as direct as I would like. So I examined the before/after report of the alignment & notice that the car stated is an AMG CLK55, not a 320. Should this matter?

yes it should.
I've attached a scan of before/after printout, I did return to the garage in question & ask why it says AMG CLK55 at the top. They claim that these are the correct specs for my 320 & thats just how the machine prints the report. Not certain if i've been fobbed off, although I am sure that the steering does not feel 100%.

you have probably got a worn joint at the NSR because the camber is excessive and is not adjustable. (or a link is bent)

too little rear toe in

I had 2 failed attempts by garages to set up the suspension on my 500E.
It was only after some research and me taking the proper process (weights in all 4 seats) to Merc that it was done properly, the difference was night and day and the car was transmormed.

Plus looks like you got to much neg camber on both nearside wheels.
