toe-in is the only adjustment on these cars unless you buy a kit. Sounds like something is not right with your car. Take it to a good front end shop and have them check it out.

Trouble is, here in the UK, there doesn't seem to be front-end specialists. I know my BMW dealer only checks the TOE. I really don't know where else to take my car...

Thanks anyway. I may try one of the camber kit... Expensive though..


My front, right-side, tire is wearing on its outside edge. When you look at the tire/wheel, it seems to have an extream angle (top of tire is further out than the bottom, or it looks like the tire leans out from the top. Is this adjustable? Is this the camber? I recently had the springs/shocks/upper control arms replaced. Do I need to have the tracking checked?

Thanks

Steve


It's my understanding that BMW dealers will adjust the TOE only. Can the Camber be adjusted?

Steve
