    Rear Camber is not Adjusting !! M3 E46

    Hey guys ,

    So I went to MSW for an aggressive wheel alignment after I replaced "

    1.Subframe Bushes
    2.Front Diff bushing

    obviously the Carrier was dropped for this job . Once complete and up on a the Alignment at MSW the Camber on the rear is Way off

    -0.6 LEft
    -0.9 Right

    The Usual Camber For our Cars sit at -2.5 to -1.5 if im not mistaken which I am at least -1.0 out of camber basically the rear tyres are tilted to the outside and the thread is not eating whatsoever hence the poor handling

    the guys tried retorqing the camber bolt and it was set to maximum.I then discovered that the Bolt Washer was fully Worn Out and got it replaced for both left and right Camber Bolts , went back to MSW and still got the same result only this time the left went to -0.7 and -1.0(-0.1 Improvement)


    What can cause this headache ?

    1.Bent WishBones ?(lower arms ?)
    2.Eliminated the Fact that I had Bad washers

    Car has never had any sort of accidents whatsoever as per FSH @AGMC

    Help is appreciated Guys

    P.s Castor and Toe are OK

    THe OTher issue I have is that the car keeps Pulling to right even after a front alignment but im guessing that's due to the bad CAmber adjustment at the rear

    I`ve Put out an order for New Lower Arms .

    I don't want to go ahead and buy after market Adjustable Lower arms if theres an actual issue with the car

    Please let me know if anyone has encountered this before and how did it get resolved

    Try to check our sponsors for more details about what could be wrong in your suspension. E46 M3s are easily tweaked and I had mine with -1.3 in the front and -2.0 in the back, more than that would cause a faster tyre wear out, unless you track your car every other day then go for high numbers.

      Do you have any modifications to the suspension. It might be difficult to adjust the camber if the car is sitting too high.

          I would suggest you get the car checked at a good workshop.

          The rear camber should not cause pulling to the side. How good are the tyres. Does the car pull to the right while cruising or while breaking or accelerating.

            stock rear camber should be 1.3 to 2.0

            let the car settle on the new parts by driving it for at least 1000kms then take it for another alignment session and then report back
