Need Help - Dealer is suggesting a NEW camber???

[DavidsHeroes]

I purchased a new set of tires which cost 2200.00. The dealer recommended an alignment and I reluctantly agreed since my car had no issues of drifting. After the alignment was performed, I drove home noticing a drift to the right. So I brought it back to the BMW dealer and they did the alignment 2 more times and now the car dramatically goes to the right. The dealer wants to replace the camber. My car only has 23,000 miles and has not been in an accident nor hit any potholes. What should I do? Please help.

Is there another dealer or an independent that you might consider going to? Consider cross posting this in your regional sub-forum.

Wants to replace the...camber? Do you mean change the camber? If the car was fine, they aligned it, then it wasn't fine, that suggests that A. They aren't aligning it correctly or B. Something is bent and aligning the car has revealed it. Camber has much less to do with a car pulling to one side than toe does. Do you have any printouts of before and after the alignment(s)?

Camber isn't a thing that can be replaced. Camber is in simple terms how much the tire leans in or out. Correctly adjusting the camber should have been a part of the alignment. If it didn't do this driving behaviour before the alignment it shouldn't be doing it after the alignment.

Your dealer saw you coming from a mile away.

Yea...you dont replace camber. Camber is an angle measurement that you adjust to certain specs to have the car drive as the factory wanted it. Have em align it with you or equivalent weight in the driver's seat.
