Cross-eyed and pigeon-toed

[Jordo]

So yeah...... thats my X5, cross-eyed and pigeon-toed.

I installed some Depo headlights about a 1.5 months ago. Love the fit and finish and the looks are out standing. But I have adj every which way to try and get my head lights focused. I cant get a straight level cut off line from my projectors. Please help ! ! !

This is from about 60 ft from the garage door. As you can see the cut off line is croocked.... less then desirable.



Here is what it should be indicated bythe red line.



And this is the most anoying part. I can't get away from this slop shape. WTF is it there for? do you over lap them? stack them? I can get them to have a good spread. I ask because the last truck I owned I got aftermarket headlights... cheep ones too, and they had the identical shape in it. Any help???



The Orange one is the right, (passaer side) and red is left (driver side)



PLEASE GIVE ME SOME DIRECTION! Need to get this sorted.

Now the pigeon toe-ness.

Like many X5's we suffer for the excessive camber on the rear wheels.
I was able to use a overhead lift to check out what was going on, but due to a time constraint I was unable to work on it and prolly wont be able to us it in the near future.

So I took the brief oppertunity to at least check out what was worn out. (my memory tells me that people here said there is visable ware with the rubber around the bushing, and thats the cause of the excess camber)

Also should mention that I have a dreaded squeak when going over small to mild bumps. So I suspected the sway bar rubber bushings, so I removed the, cleaned and lubed. (wasnt the issue, still squeaks) Anyway that is what the liquid is from, cleaning and lubingthe rubber bushing area.

So Im posting a few pics so hopfully some one can tell me what I'm missing.

I believe It is the top pivot on the upper contol arm that fails...



Here is a closer shot of it. No real signs of ware. And I would think from how bad mine is, I should beable to see somthing...



But then I noticd this.... (pay attention now, this is the tricky part)

I noticed that the driver side camber asdjustment is only half way through its adjustable range....



But the passanger side is maxed out, in the direction to help straiten it.



^ So I feel that the driver side could be adjusted out, the passanger side is clearly out of adj, so something is jacked up on that side..... Here is my theory....

The driver side was adjusted this way intentionally to keep both of the rear wheels even. The pasanger side is clapped out somewhere. I still want to point my finger at the upper control arm pivot, as.... what else could it be other thensomthing bent?

Any help would be very helpful!

Thanks!
