Front Alignment specs -- 108
Coulda sworn I saw this somewhere here, but, alas, after investing substantial time searching today, have come up with no hard numbers.
My CD manual gives me the toe-in but are not there other significant numbers which my alignment shop should have in hand, in addition to the notorious MB "spreader bar??" Caster/Camber, etc... This is a new shop to me and I've never seen an old MB around the place. Does it matter? Have new tires and want them seated properly.

I have those numbers in my paper manuals at home and can provide this weekend. I don't think a spreader bar is required on the 108 because all the bushings are metal on metal (no rubber); might, be wrong, however.

Camber measurements
Camber is 0 degrees, 30 minutes (with a -15 minutes as tolerance). So, anywhere between 1/2 and 1/4 degree. The top bolt of the Kinpin is cammed to make the adustment. I believe the torque spec is 35 ft/lbs.
The manual also talks about setting the the diver's side camber differently if the vehicle is driven mostly solo. Personally, I would leave the Caster alone. It looks very complicated to adjust it. (iteration procedure, with special shims)
