Hi guys,
I am looking at this 500SL. In the dealership service record it has a comment like this about this car, "BOTH REAR TIE-ROD SEIZED, CANNOT ADJUST... RIGHT FRONT CAMBER AND CASTER AT MAX...' What does all this mean and is this car worth buying? Thanks ![]()

The toe adjustment on the rear of this vehicle if I remember correctly are essentric , dont know why they would be seized. The caster and camber problem in the front could be the lower control arm bushings bad. I would have this car looked at and have a pre-purchase inspection done if you are seriously considering buying it.

"essentric" is that eccentric - off of center - or a word I've never heard and don't yet know? Just wondering! Thanks!
