32 00 620 Adjusting rear axle

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 BMW M5, 2009 BMW M5, 2008 BMW M5, 2007 BMW M5, and 2006 BMW M5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: A camber change always means a toe change as well.
The camber must therefore be adjusted first.

IMPORTANT:

Only on cars with Active Cruise Control:

Because the axis of motion is the reference for ACC adjustment, it is necessary after an adjustment of the rear axle which alters the axis of motion also to check the adjustment of the ACC sensor!

Adjusting camber:

Replace nut (2) and tighten to 5 Nm.

Turn eccentric bolt (1) to adjust camber to setpoint value.

Tighten nut (2).

Tightening torque: see 20AZ in 33 32 CONTROL ARMS AND STRUTS
