i wonder if anyone can solve my problem with regards to my front nearside wheel. have had it looked at and found the camber angle is incorrect and wheel is leaning over at more than 4 degrees. this should be about 1 degree. i am told it could be a bent strut on that side of car. by the way i have a 1987 e30 318i. the tracking has been checked by a couple of places and all said that it was ok. any suggestions please! :roll: [/b]

Is this steve?

If it is glad you found the zone! If it isn't then welcome anyway!

Er I don't know any more about your problem but it might be worth changing the strut. I'm sure somebody on here will have a cheap one. I do have one but its in North Wales, if you can wait about 4 weeks then its yours.
