Did you get the rear wheels aligned also? I just finished replacing all the mounts, bushings, links, shocks and springs on mine. Tomorrow will be the front end. After that I will get a 4 wheel alignment done to make sure I didn't get the trailing arms too far out of wack!

The rear wheels cannot be aligned. There are no adjustments. Anyone claiming to do a four wheel alignment is simply ripping you off.

I don't have any subsection above 113 in group 40.

What's it give you for adjustments?

On all of these, there are no adjustments. Camber is adjusted via ride height. Toe, if not to spec, would require adjustable trailing arm bushings. Try and find a local shop with sufficient knowledge to deal with those.........

There is a page of specs and then diagrams that show how to adjust the trailing arms to get the tires tracking right. This makes sence. I noticed the subframe mount braket had elongated holes like for an adjustment. The pictures have arrows showing which way to push and pull to get the tires running straight depending on which way they are turned, in or out. I called MB here in Raleigh and they said they do a four wheel alignment for the 126. $99.95! Sounded like the old Earl Shwibb paint commercials! I got the front aligned at a good shop (Supreme Auto Service) here for $60.00, after I had changed out the tie rods, drag link, and damper. They got it within specs even with the sloopy ball joints etc.

Sure, it makes sense. But, the vehicle is not equipped with adjustable trailing arm bushings. You'd need to install a set of those, and then find someone who can actually align it.

I can assure you, they do not do a 4 wheel alignment on a W126.
