Do I need to install camber?

My stick rims 17" with Bilstein B12 pss10, my tyre man commented my inner side of the tyres wore out pretty fast, could be suspension issue, my friend told me I must install camber. I went to align my car but the mechanic didn't say anything. Who should I listen and what should I do?

U will never be able to get neutral camber on the Merc. More so with coilovers or lowered suspension set up. Henceforth, your rear tires would wear our fairly quickly on the inner side. My 20s lasted me 5 frigging months from brand new.
U will need to get yourself a camber kit. Available from ebay. Check out my previous postings.

 

The original camber arms are shaped like parang but the  adjustable camber arms are straight, there will be some knocking noise due to the straight design. But I am living with it as tyres are way to expensive. Tyres are a-ok now. Rotating tyres and alignment are short term solutions. What degrees are u running now? 3 degrees? All other advices are futile in your case as with many other cases. Been there, done that.
