Up for sale is a pair of adjustable front camber kit/a-arms for the Mercedes Benz S-class W221, W222, S350, S400, S500, S550, S600 models. These are make to fit models with airbags for the front suspension.
These kits are fabricate locally here in the United States. The arms are made of hollow steel with Energy Suspension poly graphite filled bushings for bar ends and aluminum alloy inserts. The heim joints are solid steel with stainless steel ball joints and solid one piece steel sleeves.
These are great for correcting negative camber - when the top of the wheel is tipped in towards the body. Camber is the tilt of the wheel along its vertical axis. Running wider tires or car with lowering springs can cause this issue where your tires are wearing out on the inside. They are also great for older cars where the suspension tends to sag hence the wheel looks "spray out".
To some degree, this is a good thing as it allows more of the tire tread to stay in contact with the ground during hard cornering. But if you have too much negative camber, which degrades cornering performance as well as hinders grip during hard acceleration. With extreme negative camber, the inner walls of your tires will be worn out quicker.
The camber kit can straighten the wheels by dialing out the negative camber, something you can't do with the stock suspension. They are also great for race days where changing from street tires to drag or race tires where the camber need to be adjusted on the spot. You can manual dial the wheel in by adjusting the rod in or out.
Also I am currently carrying the polyurethane lubrication - Energy Suspension Formula 5 Prelube item # 301205378325. These are great to pre-lube the rod ends, bolts, nuts, the polyurethane bushings and the aluminum piping before installation. A small drop is all you need to lube and waterproof the bolt, nuts, bushings and rod ends. Let me know if you want the prelube with the kit and I can ship them together.
Please note that when ordering, please specify which color poly bushings you want. Red or Black. The default color is black.
