w210 - E300 Rear Camber bolt question

Hey guys,

As I'm trying to bring my suspension upgrades to a close, I know I will be needing to install rear camber bolt kit to assist with the alignment process for my new lowered rear. Initially I ordered new lower control arm bolt kit (using the same mentality as from the front), that the lower control arm bolt kit would handle the camber issue(s) that may present themselves come alignment time.

Once received I realized they are regular bolts. I've come to realize that a single bolt needs to be replaced such that camber for the rear can be adjusted (pictured below). I assume this bolt replaces the upper arm connecting the rear spindle w/ the rear sub-frame?

Where does this bolt actually go and what Torx socket do I need to keep the bolt from spinning while gingerly tightening so that I can drive it to the alignment facility to do their thing. I've looked on my WIS and am unable to find additional documentation.

Found my answer... It's bolt 110 in the upper left corner of the supplied diagram

Are you sure it's not bolt # 59 on the right upper schematic?

Yup!

I ordered the eccentric bolt kit for th rear online and received it today. The part number on the bag matches that of the item I previously mentioned. I double checked it.

I'm just asking because part # 53 ( in the upper right corner ) looks like the suspension piece that controls camber.
The arm that you're talking about looks like it adjusts toe.

I thought the same also, but those are the only parts I see available regarding camber (alignment adjustment(s) for the w210, unless someone else can chime in.

I've seen that before. To my understanding those are only required for severe lowering. That bolt should compensate for the moderate drop I have performed. I'll see when she goes in for alignment. If I need them then I'll go from there....
