after reading a few threads on here about rear arms am i correct in thinking that the only one you adjust now is the tie rod, my car which is 1987 only has the eccentric bolt on the tie rod at the subframe end, all the other arms are just a straight swap including the camber arm .

i could stand to be corrected here......................but i think early pre-facelift cars were fitted with 2 eccentric bolts,one on the pulling arm and one on the tie rod arm,post facelift cars were only fitted with the tie rod one,as the pulling arm was changed for a generic arm that fits several mercedes.................as is any replacement bought for pre-face lift cars
the original arms on my car had 2 eccentric bolts,so i was a little confused when i bought some arms from mercedes and only recieved one eccentric bolts and was told the above by the mercesdes dealer.
