Where did you get your bushings from?
Pelican does not seem to carry them ,unless I'm missing them.
It would seem they would carry them if they were a common wear item.

Check out my thread I did, when I replaced mine....I got these bushings off ebay...

I don't know, but if they're worn, consider replacing them.

Quite the task as I understand.

Nope it is very easy...the drivers side is a bit harder because of the brake lines and when you are putting the soaped up bushing on....it makes it hard....but pretty easy....and it changed my handling and comfort of the car very nicely...

I bought the Myele version at less than $4 each.

123-323-05-85-MBZ Pelican Parts has the real Mercedes ones at $6.75 Genuine Mercedes-Benz Part: RUBBER MOUNTING Check with Pelican to be sure the Mercedes Part Number Matches the Pelican one

There is also simlar but smaller bushings on the Rear Sway Bar.

I removed the Brake Booster to get at the Driver Side. That area on both sides was rusted; so in My case room was needed to make sure I did not snap off Bolts/Studs and I had to do some anti-rust prep on the area.

If the sway Bar moves back and forth I think it would change your Castar a bit as it moves.

Unless you want to dig in deep, as long as the suspension feels tight (no play) I would live with that slight negative camber and just set the right side to match. Many people set much more negative (upper tire leans in) for better cornering control. A little will not significantly wear radial tires. Of course, insure toe-in is correct or the tires will wear fast (I set 1/16" to 1/8" using a tape measure).

I just checked/adjusted the front alignment of my 85 300D last weekend, before my son takes it 600 miles from home. I hadn't touched it in 50K miles and the p.o. always went to a M-B dealer. It was amazingly off. The left front had more neg camber than you show and the right front had even more positive camber (top leaning out). After adjusting both close to vertical (very slight negative), the right tire had extreme toe-out. The tie rod had been screwed in almost all the way, so I suspect the dealer monkeys either were totally clueless or gave up trying to turn it (was stuck) and adjusted toe-in by playing with camber (eccentric bolt at LCA pivot). When I finished, both tie-rod adjusters looked about in the nominal position. The car now goes straight with hands off the wheel and I don't have to worry about wearing the new tires. I wondered why the tires had shown significant wear on one side.

What the heck for that little but of money what do I have to lose but a little bit of time. Thanks once more Cooljjay

exactly my feelings....I have noticed some sqeak from the bushings if I go over speed bumps or driveways....It doesn't bother me one bit but some people act like the world is ending because of that....
