560SL Alignment Specs

Does anyone have MB published wheel alignment specs for a 1986 560SL. They are not on the CD or Chassis service manual and I get conflicting data from all other sources. I now have the car aligned within Firestone specs but it sucks and pulls left.

Measure distance in height from inner semi-trailing arm mount to lower edge of wheel bearing carrier coupling. Camber reading for measured height should be as follows:
