C43 alignment specs

[Lenny63]

Hi All

New shoes (Conti 5s) going on very soon - all 4

Only noticeable issue is front driver tyre is wearing heavily on outer edge, therefore I want to get 4 wheel alignment completed

Is it worth going to MB, as I believe there is a "repair kit" needed to adjust certain geometry - if so is this going to be a fortune

My other option is to get a Corghi 4 wheel alignment completed locally by a reputable garage for around £50

Does anyone have the specs ?

Cheers Lenny

The operator of the 4 wheel alignment equipment will have the correct specs.

If only one tyre is wearing then the issue is probably a camber related one. Adjustment bolts are available from your MB dealer.
Each bolt gives 3mm of adjustment.

You can measure the camber using a spirit level and ruler with the car on a flat, level surface.
It's unusual for the camber to wear the outside of the tyre as when the springs age the car sits lower, which causes a deeper camber setting and wear to the inside of the tyre.
