Item 14 is the nut and bolt but you also need the eccentric washer that doesn't have a number. There are two per side.

sixto is there a crash bolt kit for 87 300d ? my camber front and rear is -2 to -2.8

I know its not adj in rear (gotta raise ride height) but front it is and Im max'd out. Thanks in advance for supreme knowledge of 124.

Paul, I'm not sure what you're asking. The fore and aft LCA inner bolts are on eccentrics. My understanding is crash bolts replace straight bolts. Since 124s don't come with straight bolts to begin with I don't know how crash bolts can help. Sounds like a question for gsxr.

Oh, I thought crash bolts were just more eccentric than regular eccentrics.

I need more + camber in all around, Im maxed out front and rear.

I'd get a second opinion on LCA bushings front and rear, particularly the rear carrier bushing which you can't see as installed. Might be worth paying the MB dealer $150 to attempt an alignment then tell you you need $1500 in additional work. At least you'll know what has to be done.
