Readjusting camber after lowering a W164 ML

After using adjustable rods with an Airmatic ride the vehicle has too much negative camber. Was interested to see what others may have tried. Thanks for any replies.

You may look for adjustable bushings like kmac. But I do not know of anything out there. There really is no measurable adjustment on the car in stock form.

The front has a little adjustment in it. It just depends on how much you need. The rear I can not remember if there is any stock camber adjustment on the 164. I do not think there is but I could be wrong.

There's no rear oem adjustment but if I have to I'll build my own rear camber bar. K- whack shows rear adjustable bushings but no fronts.

Turns out MB puts a little( 1/2*) adjustment in W164 rear suspension. Not enough correct shorter sport coils.
I built rear camber adjusters and they work. I even managed another 1" rear drop for a total of 3.6" without negative camber.

My ipad I was using wouldn't load picture. This will work.
The arms are made of aluminum and the ends are stainless steel with Delrin bushings.
