Hi , I have just had my 325i sports aligned on a Hunter machine and the rear toe is
Left 0’06 and right -0’02 ,
I don’t think there is any toe adjustment, so what do I look at to fix this I’m guessing I have some worn bushes , I would add a photo of the print out but can’t work out how to do this , any help appreciated
Thanks [/img]

Factory eccentric rear trailing arm bushes can sort it, apparently it's a bit of a pain to work out how they should be fitted.
I've got a set somewhere, never got round to using them.

Or replace bushes and weld on toe and camber tangs (exchange rear subframe are out there been around a while) fit adjusters, = fully adjustable rear wheel alignment like near on every new car built in the last decade spec...

Get the trailing arm bushes checked, they could well be falling apart

i had 4 degrees of toe out at the rear (not sure how much either side) and it turned out to be the rear beam that was bent, i replaced that and ended up with 1/4 degree toe in

Thanks for all your replies , I’ve had the car since 1999 l , it used to feel really solid , it’s been on the road for 4 weeks after being in storage for 11 years , has just had new steering rack , bilstein b8 shocks and lots of other parts tie rods bushes etc , but still not feeling right , I think the next step is to replace all the bushes in the rear subframe as mentioned above , any Ideas of what this may cost
Thanks
