Still looking for somebody to tell me what they paid for an alignment since I'm getting estimates of anywhere from $91.00
to $300 from the local dealers. They are telling me "it depends". Toe setting only would be $91.00 to $150.00. Camber/caster
would up it to anywhere from $200 to $300. Apparently only dealerships can do this job on this car. I've asked the independents
and they've all said they can't. Any personal experiences??? Thanks.[:@]

I am in the middle of dealing with the suspension on mine. What year is yours? Mine is a 2000...
I just recently put Koni Shocks, Springs, and Eibach sway bars on and the rear camber is off 2 degrees, so I am looking into it. I also have to replace the tie rod assembly in the front as it is slightly worn to throw off the front alignment off a little.
To replace the front tie rod assembly is $270, plus install, plus $100 for the alignment.
There is a kit by K-Max that I am looking into to "hopefully" fix the 2 degree rear camber issue. The K-Max kit is about $320 plus labor.
Does this help?

Have you checked the ball joints and tie rods? On my C230K 2000 with 120K miles on it, I had about a 1/8 inch play with the tie rods and the ball joints had a little wear on them.
Just something to check on..
