32 00... Additional work for camber correction

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 BMW X6 and 2010 BMW X6. 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 underdimension 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:
- Underdimension variant
+ Overdimension 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!
