You cannot adjust the camber from the top mount you need to modify the rear beam to adjust the camber and toe as they are not adjustable as standard.

You can get camber and toe plates with eccentric bolts which are weldedonto the beam so that they are adjustable.

Or you could go back to stock height.

is it difficult to get done? the car is only lowered 30-40mm had 15" wheels which were ok and put on 17" wheels and have ended up with this problem lol.....

its job best left to some one who knows what they are doing.

the rear beam needs removing, and the welding. Its not a quick job or easy lying on your back on the drive.

If you don't know what your doing find someone who does. Eccentric bushes may improve the situation a bit but not perfectly they are also easier to fit though.

There are a number of work arounds, but the simplest way of solving it is to change the springs for ones that arn't so low.

See my photo thread for a picture of the kit before its fitted.

what !? I'm sure that means something to somebody, just not me lol

that rear beam looks uber sexy.

I am wondering how much the kit is and when i should buy it

[bene30jane]

I know i started this post was started a while ago but maybe this could be caused by worn trailing arm bushes?.... my car seems like one rear wheel is lower than the other in the wheelarches of the car.... also where is the kit avalible?, how much?, any pictures of the parts included?, do the bushes come in the kit, and i guess that the new mounts weld to where the old ones would have been?.... any help appreciated, im at the point to either sell my car or spend my money wisely to make it last another 18 years lol....

Also off subject but not lol, my front suspension bangs when i hit bumps, even small ones!! ,as if it bottoms out, the steering also seems to wander when driving in a straight line, has been tracked up recently and the steering rack centalized, which helped a bit.

I have had it checked at bmw main dealer and at mot station and they say its fine, the antiroll bar, antiroll bar bushes (poly), lower arms, droplinks, damper inserts, tca bushes (poly) and all bolts and brackets have been replaced, i have an omp strut brace fitted, plus the tca poly m3 bushes some doughnut fitted opposite to how they should!!! Also the complete steering rack has been replaced along with coupling.....

Any ideas or others experienced or heard of this?

[bene30jane]

could anyone move this to technical for me please?.....

The 'kit' is largely eccentric bolts and washers from the rear suspension of an E39 5 series. The rest of the kit is two small pieces of steel channel, with slotted holes filed in them.
