2013 C300 72K mi. Just replaced all 4 tires through Tire Rack. Since I have never had an alignment I brought it to a Mercedes dealer who tells me I need new front springs for $1500 plus another alignment. . Print out shows front axle level for left at -21mm/-3.5 and right -20mm/-3.2 with target data -0.3 And +/-1.7. Front camber was out -0.59 left and -1.30 right.
The only undue wear on the old tires wa slight on the inside of the RF. They did not complete the alignment because they said a new camber nut would need replacing again after the new springs were installed.
Questions: 1. If I do not have the springs replaced but have them do the remainder of the alignment, how much of a difference will it make on the tires and driving performance with these specs. 2. If I just leave it as is, with those specs, would I likely have more wear on the new tires than the ones I just took off (lasted 35K Conticontact). My inclination is just to leave it I could go through the new tires and another 2 sets for what it will cost to correct this.
Thanks for any input. Eckelaw
