Re: 04 E55 AMG: Front end clunk

Added a washer to pass side to drop it a bit. I measured 26.75" on both fronts. Then I drove it and came back. Front left still at 26.75". I think the passenger side was at 27". I could always try another thin washer if I wanted to be super precise.
Unfortunately now I need another alignment. And I think I am going to ask for a camber bolt for the passenger side control arm. He claims he had them but I wonder if I'd be better off to just buy one for $20 and bring it.

EDIT: Added a thin washer to the pass side. Driver's side now at 26.5" and passenger side 26.375". The rears are close at 26" pass and 26.125" driver's. I will measure a few more times and if I don't like the results I pull off the thin washer again. At this point this won't effect the alignment; this is all close enough to align. I can't believe I brought it in with a slammed left front and didn't notice.
