Adjustability
On the 2017 Mercedes-Benz Metris, wheel alignment adjustability is somewhat limited from the factory, especially concerning camber and caster. This is a common characteristic for many Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles, prioritizing robust design over extensive field adjustability for every angle.
Front Axle
-
Toe: Front toe is fully adjustable on the Metris. This adjustment is typically made via tie rods, which thread in and out to lengthen or shorten the steering link, thereby changing the toe angle. This is a standard and straightforward adjustment.
-
Camber: Front camber is not factory-adjustable on the 2017 Metris. If your Metris exhibits camber outside the specified range, it often indicates worn suspension components (such as ball joints, control arm bushings, or wheel bearings) or damage to the suspension or chassis. To achieve camber adjustment when no damage or wear is present, aftermarket camber bolts or eccentric bushings may be installed. These specialized components allow for a limited range of positive or negative camber adjustment by altering the mounting position of the strut or control arm.
-
Caster: Similar to camber, front caster is not factory-adjustable on the 2017 Metris. Like camber issues, out-of-spec caster typically points to worn or damaged suspension components. Aftermarket solutions, such as eccentric bushings for control arm mounts or adjustable control arms, are available to correct caster if necessary. However, it's crucial to diagnose the root cause of the caster issue before resorting to aftermarket components.
