Camber Adjustment: Rear

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 BMW 540i, 2003 BMW 530i, and 2003 BMW 525i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: If the hexagon collar nut is tightened down more than 10 times during adjustment, it must be replaced. The self-locking effect becomes too slight.
NOTE: A change in camber also means a change in toe. This means that camber must be adjusted first.
  1. Before adjusting, replace disc collar nut (1) and ensure eccentric washer (2) is correctly positioned. See Fig 1. Tighten disc collar nut to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
  2. Loosen disc collar nut 1/2 to 1 complete turn.
  3. Using the eccentric screw, adjust camber precisely to specification. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS .
  4. Tighten down disc collar nut (1). See Fig 1. Ensure that eccentric washer (2) is correctly located. Tighten disc collar nut to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS .
  5. Adjust toe-in. See TOE-IN ADJUSTMENT .
