32 00... Additional work for camber correction

NOTE: The camber adjustment is performed only with the replacement of the swivel bearing. There are 3 different swivel bearings for this!

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

NOTE: The swivel bearing may only be replaced if the camber is outside the specified tolerance after toe adjustment.

Necessary preliminary tasks:

Adjust toe-in. See 32 00 601 ADJUSTING TOE-IN ON FRONT AXLE .
Check camber values; if necessary, replace SWIVEL BEARING with over- or under-dimension variant.

Part number (1) in the graphic is only an example number!

NOTE: Series swivel bearing can be identified using the BMW part number (1) only (cast at the bottom).
