Default ANYBODY had an alignment on their C230K???

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?

I paid $91 here in Phoenix on my '05 c230k. Didn't help though. Still pulls to the right.

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..
