Tony Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Just a point to note and i found this out the hard way. BMW say on the 5 series, F10, 11, 12 and X series 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 that the front camber angle is adjustable. Well that's not strictly true? What they do offer is a slightly longer or slightly shorter upper wishbone Either side of the OEM wishbone the replacements offer around 30'. The points i don't like about this is 1: Cost 2: Fixed adjustment range It's for this reason we use this type of adjuster. This offers a progressive range + - 40'. To the warning All the cars listed above already use the BMW OEM -30' wishbone meaning if measured and found to need a lowering kit OEM or not the will NOT work. In addition if the replacement needed is to raise/ reduce the camber any more than 30' you will need the BMW OEM +30' longer wishbone.

Rich Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 As the ball joint slides along those bolts/holes to adjust it, what is the likelihood of the position moving when hitting a bump or pothole etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted September 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 Next to zero. This and most other wishbones are crumple zones so it's more probable it will bend before moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
