Wheel alignment tips/info

[TriX5]

ARD has some very useful pointers over on the E70 forum that apply equally to the E53. I recommend putting a sheet together with numbers you want the alignment shop to hit (I use toe-in 0.02 +/- 0.01 and camber 1.1 +/- 0.1, both settings to be balanced L to R. The rest I am fine using std spec.) Present it to them when making the appointment. If they balk say good-beye! and find a better shop.


If no recent suspension work was done, be ready to swap some control arms, ball-joints or the inner bushings in the lower CA.
