When I put them in. ..If I don't have the exact # of threads as the original install.....like I'm off a turn or so...What will the effect be?
Will the caster/ camber/ ride height/ toe ect... be off?
It also has new H&R springs, upper rubber bushings, and shocks right now but the drivers front sits 1/2" lower than pass side. That happens to be the side the guide rod is real bad also. Pass side is clunky too.
Yes ...alignment to follow this also.

This has direct impact upon Castor, Toe and to some degree Camber = the car must be aligned by a Mercedes qualified technician with the MB wheel spreader bar.
Have a great day.
