after lowering the ride

[robbie123]

so i whent to a shop for them to out my new h&R springs and to do an aligment; since i was at work they dropped my car off at my house . so when i get home i whent to check my car and it looked gorgeous it sits pretty low and it just looks gangstar! haha
but i did notice that my driver rear wheel seems to be tilted and the car its still pulling to the left like it did before the aligment . i call the guys and he said that i need a camber kit because i upgraded the suspension ... im confused , can anyone give me some pointers... so i really need this or is the guy just a rip off . im afraid my tires are going to wear the wrong way

depending on how much you lowered it. but the way you described it im sure you do.

BimmerWorld.com has a set of adjustable rear LCAs for around $180.

you dont need camber plates, your toe is just off in the front, so get an alignment. you'll start to notice cup wearing on the inside of the front tires.

and BLANCO, are those RTABS still for sale

what abput the tilted wheel? and what do you mean by the toe... im new into all this

how much do you weigh? when people do alignments they do not take into consideration your weight in the driver's seat

bmw reccomends weighting the car during alignment specifically for this purpose....

the people who align your car will fix it, so you dont have to understand ;)

To get the car to proper factory alignment specs you need front camber plates and adjustable lower rear control arms. You should be able to get everything even from left to right without them though. Your camber (how much the wheel tilts in from top to bottom) will just be more negative than factory specs (tilted in more). It should be possible to get the car not to pull by adjusting the toe (how much the front tires are pointed inward or outward as viewed from above) to compensate for the lowered ride height. It should be aligned with weight in the drivers seat also. If it cannot be evened out from left to right most likely something else is wrong with a suspension component. If you say it pulled before the springs were installed this could very well be the case. Could be anything from bad bushings, bent stuff, or even tire pressure.

well, now im starting to notice a sound coming from the front ( i think its coming from the srtuts or somewere there ) its kinda like if something was loose. its usually when im turning or when i go really slow.. what could that be ?

[OptionlessM]

control arm bushings
