Hello fellow MB enthusiasts,

I just had 4 new 205/60VR15 Yokohama AVS db tires installed on my '91 300TE wagon. In the 20 miles I've driven them so far, I must say I am very pleased. They seem to be at least as quiet as the Michelin MX4V tires on my 300E sedan and the cornering capability is greatly improved. The tire shop also performed a 4 wheel alignment and reported that they were unable to bring the front camber within spec. The eccentric is adjusted to its highest point. They offered no explanation for why this would happen and indicated the suspension components appear to be in good shape.

The spec is apparently -0.4 to 0.1 degrees, with the setting on my car being -0.9 (right) and -0.7 (left). So the wagon has slightly more negative camber than the spec calls for.

3 questions:

1) Does this sound like the correct spec?

2) Is it off enough to consider doing something about it?

3) What is the solution?

Thanks very much in advance!!

Best Regards,
Gebhard
