Rear camber kit install
This is an old debate but since I couldn't get more than 30k on a set of rear tires (315/20) I was considering the camber kit after I just put new tires on.
Looking at the content of the kit I am not sure where these bushings go. Here is a good document you might like reading: Check page 24 for X5 specific. http://www.bmwmotorsports.org/BMW_docs/x5align.pdf This is the camber kit: http://www.turnermotorsport.com/show...x5-kmac-street Would these be both bushings on part 15 on the diagram below?

Rear Adjustable Camber/Toe Bushings - E60 E63 E65 E53 X5 - KMAC Street - Turner Motorsport Yea looks like it goes on 15. How much can you possibly adjust with that. ok 2 degree adjustment according to this. Bavarian Autosport Adjustable Camber Kit Rear E60 E63 E64 E65 E53 | eBay

My camber for some reason the alignment shop couldn't get it lower than -1.8 on one side. All the bushing was replaced other than the camber one which is part of part 15. The guy said that if he could get it close to -1 or so the tire wear is not visible. I am not sure if I should get the kit. I get about two years on rears though...

Have you refreshed anything else in the rear end? There are several wear items there that affect camber and toe; if you're getting abnormally high wear on the rear tires (I'm guessing they're wearing on the inside edges, since you're going after camber) toe is actually the more likely culprit. I've got the parts on hand to do a near complete refresh on mine; ball joint (33326767748), integral link (33326770749), guiding suspension link (33326774796) and wishbone (L-33326770859, R-33326770860). If you haven't replaced any of those parts, putting a camber kit on it might be a waste of time & money.
Here's a couple of threads with good info on suspension bits: http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...uspension.html http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...l-carrier.html There are probably a lot more threads around; search is our friend.

Guys,
somehow wondering what your problem is. I have just changed my winter tires - they were 2 years old - and when inspecting the old ones I saw that they are all (really all) worn the same. Absolutely exactly the same. This was not the case always but since my BMW dealer has measured and adjusted the axes all is good. BR, Helmuth
