Does the 123 CD Service Manual lack the Front End Alinment Specs?
I was looking in the Book, Service Manual Chassies and Body Series 123, Volume one.
In section 40-320; At the bottom of the page 40-3-320/1 F2 On the above page and the next page it has Alinment specifications. Yet when I looked on my 123 CD Service Manual Set I could not find it. Is this something that is missing from the CD Service Manual set?

Don't know but if you search my prior posts, I list the alignment specs for a 123. I can't remember anymore exactly what they were but I think 1/2 degree total toe for front wheels, 0 camber +-.3 degrees. I don't remember the castor. Maybe 8 degrees??

I have the specs in the Book. But, I thought that I also saw them in the CD manual. I wanted to copy the specs for someone without having to scan my book which would require bending it flat and stressing the spine; but when I looked in the CD set I was unable to find the info there. Also my CD manual set came from that MercedesManual place; not the Classic Center. I am also wondering if it is the same as the Classic Center one direct from Mercedes.

123 Alignment
Glad to see this post.
I am just adjusting my 123 front end after replacing all the suspension parts. I went for 0 degree camber (vertical part - I hope I am right) and not having the ability to do toe-in by degrees am experimenting with 1/2 inch to 1 inch toe-in. My question to you experts is - what toe-in in inches are you using. Any advice appreciated.

1/2 inch is way too much. American cars usually spec for 1/8 to 1/4 inch, and our cars need less than that.
