Rear Camber

Has anyone used this camber kit from BAVAUTO? I'm interested in this, since I'd like to prolong the ineer tread on my wife's X5. Thanks for any input. I'd like to put it at ZERO degrees, if possible.

this kit will work. you just have to press the bushings in the control arms the right position. good luck

I have obvious neg camber in the rear, but the tires are wearing fine.
18in wheels - do you have something non-oem that causes inside wear?
(just want to know what to be aware of.)

have you ever taken to an alignment shop yet? most places can get an even camber just by rotating the eccentric camber bolt on the lower control arm.

The last time I went to a non dealer alignment shop, they said they couldn't do it due to a special tool they lacked. I've not looked at the alignment process very close, but is this task of rotating the eccentric camber bolt 'doable' by the average joe's alignment shop?

I just spoke to the local Indy (german specialist) and he wasn't confident they could get to 0 without the brav auto kit. If this true, or was that an attempt to up sell the camber kit install on top of the alignment? Are you guys getting to 0 (or close) with stock adjustment?
