Unhappy Camber 2001 CLK 320

Quick question: On my 1990 190E I am able to adjustt the camber of my car fairly easy through 2 bolts (eccentric bolts) going through the control arms. Does the C208 have the same set up? I noticed that it does appear to have the "wishbone" LCA, but not sure if the camber can be adjusted the same as with the W201. Thanks

On the W202/W208 and I think most successive models the camber is only adjustable by replacing the control arm mounting bolts. It's been awhile since I've done this but as I recall there is a bolt kit with a couple of shims that have to be installed in the correct orientation based on how much adjustment you need.

The amount of adjustment possible is very small, like +- 1 degree maybe?

For what its worth its been my experience that these later model cars that are exhibiting tire wear issues are more often than not caused by worn suspension components. W202/W208 chassis are know for premature lower ball joint wear.

Do a google search on W202 + camber adjustment for more details.
