Design Layout: Service
NOTE:
The camber can also not be adjusted on the double wishbone front axle. As for the E70/E71, two replacement upper transverse control arms are available for the F01/F02 should the camber need to be changed (e. g. after an accident). These replacement upper transverse control arms enable positive (+5 mm) and negative (-5 mm) correction.
Front axle wheel alignment is required during service when:
