32 00... Troubleshooting After Wheel/Chassis Alignment Check On Rear Axle

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2008 BMW 750i, 2008 BMW 750Li, 2007 BMW 750i, 2007 BMW 750Li, and 2006 BMW 750i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Substandard roadholding, atypical noises, tires worn on one side and toe/camber values which deviate from the nominal value are all indicators of damage to the suspension caused by road traffic accidents or similar impacts.

To carry out proper repairs, you must follow the procedure set out in the troubleshooting table below depending on the condition of the vehicle in question.

NOTE: If after chassis/suspension components have been replaced adjustment of camber/track alignment is not possible, the vehicle must be placed on the straightening bench
