I have to reset the suspension each time I make a change (and no, I am not jacking the car in the air) and recheck my measurements because there is always a change after making an adjustment and resetting the suspension. To get your toe set correctly, you need to accurately measure 1/32 of an inch. These are finite adjustments and there is a tremendous amount of change going on here. Castor has a huge effect on camber and toe, camber has a huge effect on toe. Suspension geometry is different on all cars and Mercedes has its own idiosyncrasies. Again, I have aligned my car MANY times (due to piecemeal suspension work). Don't change your camber unless you are prepared to measure and reset your toe and know what you are doing.
