I need to get a picture and show you. But it looks great in terms of perfect alignment of rear tires sticking out matching the fender well.

The bushing kit is made out of polyurethane. These will outlast any of the adjustable arms. I think using the adjustable arms is more of a band aid than actually addressing the problem. If you look on this forum, many times when a forum member notices he needs to replace his adjustable arm, the certain model he got is no longer available or no replacement part of the kit--and then back to square-one!

Getting the adjustable poly bushings is a "set-it and forget it."

I'd like to see a picture for sure. Thank you.

There's no such thing as "set and forget" on a BMW.

Camber Kit
 
Hey,
Thanks for all the information. Your X5 looks real good mine is very similar but its the V8 - 4.6 with all the bells and whistle from the factory.
Just started trying to restore it but its expensive and some parts are hard to find but no rush no worries, I will post pictures as soon as its done.

With a urethane bushing in comparison to a rubber bushing--yes--set it and forget it. The durometer on a poly bushing will nearly never deform. Therefore, the adjustment of the bushing itself will most likely never need to be re-adjusted. Things like ball joints, control arms, etc, will need adjustment as those parts wear over time due to metal-on-metal contact.

Hi,
The radio you have is that an upgrade or OE.
If an upgrade please send some info on it and an idea of cost factor.
