32 00... Additional Work For Camber Correction

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW X5, 2012 BMW X5, and 2011 BMW X5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

IMPORTANT: Changes in axle geometry caused by accidents must under no circumstances be rectified by camber adjustment!

NOTE: The upper control arm may only be replaced if the camber is outside the specified tolerance after toe adjustment.

Adjust TOE-IN .

Check camber values; if necessary, replace upper control arm with over- or under dimension variant. See REMOVING AND INSTALLING/REPLACING TOP LEFT WISHBONE or REMOVING AND INSTALLING/REPLACING TOP RIGHT WISHBONE .

NOTE: Control arms with + or - marking (see Fig 1) are camber correction arms:
- Under dimension variant
+ Over dimension variant
These camber correction arms are used to correct the camber values by 30 minutes. To be used only if the tolerance values are exceeded or undershot!
An unmarked control arm is a standard part.
