I decided to drive my jeep for a while and put the benz in storage. Just got her back out. Thanks for the all the replies. Based on them heres how I proceded...

parked on level surface.

I put a strait edge vertically on the rim, then put a level on that... the RF tire only showed a modest cant inward, looking at the eccentric washer, it had defintely been moved from its original position.


But the LF showed 1 inch or more. I looked at the eccentric washer and still appears to be at the factory setting. Additionally, theres cosmetic damage to the LFQP that may not be so cosmetic. This tire is in worse condition.

Since the skinnerbox site is down, I dont have a diagram handy. How precisely does one adjust the eccentric washer? Is it welded or fitted to the bolt so that it can be adjusted? Is one inch too far out of spec?

I'm acquiring the parts to refurb the front end, I don't want to take it to a shop until then. But I still want to drive another 500 to 1k miles on these dam tires.
