Got the X5 aligned today and four new Yoko tires. Wow. What a difference. It was really out of alignment big time. But the real difference is in the ride quality with these new Yoko Envigor tires. Super quiet, good handling and overall well mannered.
Followed everyone's advice on here about specs and weighting of the vehicle while being aligned.
These guys did a great job aligning the X5 and balancing out the tires. Just a great job overall.
They did find one outer front CV joint boot ripped, so I just ordered a new one from BavAuto and will get that put on asap.
Thanks again, guys, for all your help and advice. I'm a happy camper now.
Oh no, wait. Just looked at the alignment sheet they gave me. It specs a 5 series E39 1997-2003 model! Guess I'll be calling them in the morning.
