Hi Mate,

Glad to here your X5 is ok and you like it.

They put the new control arms in and the X5 is worse, under brakes I have to pull righthand down to keep it on the road straight and if I want to change lands now all I do is take the pressure off the steering wheel and goes to the lefthand lane straight away.

Its so bad now if I am on the otherdise of the road (RH lane with camber on the road going to the right it will actually drive left up the opposite camber, now that's bad.

The new arms they put in gave camber adjust not castor, even the mechcanic that put them in said it would not work and that caster adjust is required.

Anyway they are putting the old control arms back in because the X5 is now dangerous to drive.

Just told the dealer I want new X5 and they are getting this one back.
