Adjustability
The 2018 Metris has limited factory adjustment.
Front: Only individual toe is adjustable via the tie rod ends. Camber and caster are not factory adjustable.
Rear: The rear suspension is non-adjustable from the factory. Camber and toe can be corrected with aftermarket kits.
Recommended adjustment hardware
To correct front camber and caster, or rear camber and toe, you'll need aftermarket kits. A common solution for the front is a set of eccentric bolts (cam bolts) that replace the factory strut-to-knuckle bolts. For the rear, specialized eccentric bushings are often used.
Symptoms of bad alignment
- Feathered tire wear: This is a classic sign of a bad toe setting. The tread blocks will feel smooth on one side and sharp on the other.
- Camber wear: One shoulder of the tire will be significantly more worn than the other. Positive camber wears the outside shoulder; negative camber wears the inside.
- Pulling or drifting: The vehicle may pull to one side while driving on a straight, flat road.
When to align
- After installing new tires
- After any suspension or steering component is replaced
- After hitting a curb or large pothole
- When you notice uneven tire wear or a change in handling
Typical alignment cost
A four-wheel alignment for a Mercedes-Benz Metris typically costs between $150 and $250. This can increase if aftermarket adjustment kits are needed.
