Adjusting the camber on the left

Prerequisite

TOE ADJUSTMENT is within the tolerance.

NOTE: TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Changes in axle geometry caused by accidents must under no circumstances be rectified by camber adjustment.

NOTE: TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Camber and toe-in influence each other. Adjust the toe-in first in order to simplify the adjustment procedure. The camber is exclusively adjusted by exchanging the upper wishbone. There are various wishbones for this purpose (+/-30').

NOTE: TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The camber correction wishbones are used to correct the camber values by 30 minutes. To be used only if the tolerance values are exceeded or undershot.

Preliminary work

Check the CAMBER .

Adjust the camber on the left if the measured value for the camber on the left is outside the tolerance.
Removing the front left wheel

Remove the WHEEL

NOTE: TECHNICAL INFORMATION
A wheel lifter is recommended for easier wheel removal and installation without exertion (see the applicable BMW Parts Catalog).
In vehicles with M Carbon ceramic brake: It is essential to use the wheel lifter to remove the wheel.

This process is intended to prevent damage to the brake disc.
If several wheels are removed simultaneously:
Use a piece of chalk to mark on each tire the axle and side on which the corresponding wheel is fitted.
Release the lug bolts (arrows) crosswise and remove the wheel.
For releasing and tightening lug bolts with the security code: Use the correct adapter from the set of special tools 0 492 518 (36 1 300).
