for my 1988 560SL
NOTE Perform alignment measurements in "Ready to Drive" condition, (i.e., at normal road height with simulated passenger load).
Front Axle
Camber [1]
Wheels in straight ahead position -0°10' (+10', -20')Max difference between left and right 0°20'
Caster [1]
Wheels in straight ahead position 10°30' (+30', -30')Max difference between left and right 0°30'
