Alignment failed. UUUGHH, rear inner bushings, AGAIN!
The guys from S2Dynamics called me late on Friday and said they couldn't quite hit the camber number on the left rear as the inner bushings are toast.....again! Unbelievable, I swapped those only 13k back..... I guess the incredibly rough surface streets in the area are really taking their toll!
Ordered another set of four inner bushings from FCP Euro and they'll be here on Tuesday. With colleges starting up and the kids going every day, the X5 is in daily use. So, that job will be up next weekend along with the postponed brake job.
At first I thought I had to take both hub carriers off again, a job I don't relish too much. But then remembered it is only the three main bolts, the integral link, the sway bar link and the ride height sensor that need to come off. Actually not too bad  . I always use anti-seize before assembling to keep things from oxidizing too much.
