Jacking the car on the suspension is not sufficient, but as i stated earlier none of that is your problem. The reason things changed didn't have to do with tightening, it had to do with changing the alignment. The rear bushings are to weak to affect through loading. They only will wear out too fast if not tightened correctly.

I agree you should get a diagnostic alignment done by someone competent to do such.

The shop claims to specialize in german cars. works of mercedes and bmw's.
I will have the alignment done again but that wont solve the loose suspension issue. The point is not to complain about the money factor otherwise I would've thrown away the benz by now. but to get the things done right.

I will also take it to a different shop to have it re-aligned.

The operative word here is CLAIMS. I'm sorry, but I have seen too many repair facilities jump on the words " specialize in " when they don't have a clue. I'm not singling out automotive repair facilities, because I have experienced below standard work with accountants, dentists, and even attorneys. My professional opinion is to still have the car checked out by a repair facility that really knows MBs before you waste money on another alignment. Our industry is plagued by people who get a box of tools together and call themselves mechanics. You need to find what in yiddish is called a Maven. You need to find someone who knows your car.

Good luck,
Peter

I strike the word even from my previous post, because all attorneys are suspect.
