They do a few bits and pieces for various other models. Will post up if I find some more, hope it helps

Description in the ad is terrible, also the F1 Fabrication arms have good and bad reviews, I looked at them for the w212.

they go out of calibration every few thousand miles, will cost you more in 4 wheel alignment all the time! lol.

Oh okay, don't buy it then.

I had a browse of their website. Welding isn’t that great if you ask me

It does look suspect, best to stay clear, safety comes first. I wonder who else has got them installed? Could be a dangerous product

 

[badgx]

Found another, no idea if this is good'en? Looks like an Australian company. Might be polybushes, could make the ride harsh? This is for front end, couldn't find anything for rear from Kmac. Best to do own research but there are definitely some products out there

Bushes only from zacmotorsport.com
eccentric style for the rear w213 E63.

I suspect you need to utilise the original arms and replace the bushes with the eccentric one. Description seems to be okay. Expensive for small item but it's an AMG ️

read the reviews on mbworld, not the best, hence never went for them.

oem camber bolts were the best option (if available)

Zacmotorsport.com sponsors the mbworld website. Acid at MSL can advice if good or not. Might even have suggestions or access to products for the w213 e63. I'll ask when I'm down there

OEM camber bolts (if available) might not bring into specs if car has been lowered. I found out myself, they only introduced a small fixed amount of correction.

On the 205 and 213 there are no adjustment bolts per se. You can buy arms from mercedes that have an eccentric bush fitted to adjust the camber by a set amount. There aren’t many options on that, just a couple iirc.
You probably already know that

Oh that's brilliant news, i didn't know mb did camber arms with eccentric bushes. That's news to me. Just need the MB parts numbers, will help fellow members with camber issues

That definitely should help, thumbs up to Jobsworth, always to the rescue

The fact that MB got these camber arms with eccentric adjustment, goes to show they knew all about it. Should have left the factory with them pre installed on all AMG.

 

[Jobsworth]

It’s not an adjustment. You buy the arms with a correction bush installed. It’s a fixed amount of correction. The bush can’t move within the arm.

 

[Jobsworth]

Essentially it’s like the fluted bolt trick on the earlier cars, the difference being you can go a fixed measure both ways with the fluted bolts. These arms come in 3 flavours, zero adjustment, 27’ positive and 27’ negative on the caster, 16’ on the camber

Oh I see, interesting. Not seen this kind of engineering

 

[badgx]

If its been lowered, might not bring camber into desired specs, the eccentric bushes might be an alternative solution with wider range. They'll likely to be polybushes I reckon for the eccentric to work?
