Rear camber

Hello people.

I need some advice/ information on adjusting the rear camber. I have had the front adjusted and was told that the rear cannot be adjusted. I know this to be incorrect.

What will adjusting the rear camber involve?

I also need to find a company in the UK that can supply what I need.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks all.

Don't go with KMAC kit. It expensive and it will cost even more to push out the old bushing and press on the new adjustable bushing. There's a better camber kit link for the rear that you can install yourself with just 2 bolts. It can be easy put back to stock. Call leonard at 619-886-4678 or leonard.carson@gmail.com

Hey Deyainrdy4ds, What are you using on the front? Is a camber kit not required for the front?

What about the front? Does leonard have something for that, or is KMAC the way to go on the front.

Leonard only make kit for the rear. The front are usually does not have camber problem when lower unless you drop your car like a lower ride. I've lower my Slk, Clk 430, CL 55 and Clk 500 Cabriolet and the tire wear on the front are all perfect. I never need the Mercedes alignment bolt. But if your front alignment are off, it best to go with Mercedes alignment bolt. The worse case, you have to go with Kmac kit if your car is lower like a low rider.
