After Y2000 MB no longer fitted camber/ castor adjuster bolts during manufacture. To gain adjustment the OEM build bolt needs to be removed and replaced with a adjuster bolt.

The tricky thing is the bolt needs to be fed down the bushing blind but you need to ensure both bushing rails have engaged the bolts female grove. This can be proved by gently rotating the bolt side-to-side and feeling equal resistance both directions. Secondary proof would be the adjustment move which should be around 30'.

 

Camber adjustment will be with the wheels raised

Castor adjustment can be wheels down.

 

Note

On some models the Anti-roll bar needs to be released to remove the OEM bolt. The ARB anchor points are four 70mm x 8mm hex head bolts, these are prone to snapping so i urge you to warn the customer before attempting to remove them or you will be in a whole world of hurt.
