The early W201 & W124 chassis had a rear "tilt angle" adjustment!

That was an adjustment that made sure that the rear toe-in didn't change durning rear axle deflection or loading.

MB stopped using that durning 1986. ONLY a few dealers have the equiprment & knowledge to reset that adjustment!
OF course that could accomplished by trial & error as well.
