I'm a little confused. Wear on outside edge (positive camber). You want to "pull" tire towards oil pan ( more positive camber). Or are you having toe issues?
Best to go to a good indie alignment shop.

Oldsinner, hope you can find someone in your neck of the woods that does Mercedes. The rear wheels have to be aligned also. Good luck.

Don't take it to the dealer whatever you do when having it aligned. All they do is toe-n-go. Most techs won't even have the eccentric bolt for the rear to do the camber. They'll most likely be stumped as to what you're even talking about they're so stupid.

I don't see how the rear could even get off.I know I must have knocked alignment off changing ball joints.
