Wishbone settings
I need help with a problem I am having on my Mercedes-benz E220 W124, regarding the last settings on the lower nearside front wishbone which alter the camber, caster and inclination. I’m fitting a new wishbone, complete with new bolts, but can you advise as to how I can achieve these settings without putting it into a garage? Also, will the offside settings need to be adjusted accordingly? RD Oates To correctly set the camber and caster, a Mercedes tool with part number 201 589 02 21 00 is required. This locates into position on the steering knuckle to set the correct measurement. This tool does not appear to be readily available and I would recommend replacing the lower arm and setting the bolt to a midway position on its adjustment, then taking the vehicle to a local workshop with laser alignment facilities. This will not only ensure that the camber, caster and inclination are correct, but will also check that no changes have been made to the tracking of the vehicle, ensuring longer tyre life.
