Front Camber Alignment Mystery -1.0 Right side only
Have been to three alignment shops. None BMW experts but all decent overall.
2005 4.8is @ 96K miles
My front right camber is uneven from left. The shops say "sorry no adjustment room left". The mystery to me is why left and right are uneven.
Left
-0.2 degree (has room for adjustment)
Right
-1.8 degree
That was prior to full suspension rebuild of front end; all new bushings and ball joints in front end, new bmw air struts/springs. All rear bushings still old/factory, new shocks in rear.
Now
Left
0.0 degree
Right
-1.0 degree
Noted I do still have the factory "pins" in the top of the shock towers. I see with the non air ride shocks Bentley says "remove pin" to further adjust. Have others had to remove this pin on air struts too?
Long term I may end up choosing to run negative camber in the front end but right now my mystery is: why is the right side still different from the left?
Wondering what parts could be bent ?
thx for any ideas
J
