Procedure, toe/camber adjustment for ride-height-dependent measurement (unloaded)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 BMW 550i GT, 2012 BMW 550i GT, 2011 BMW 550i GT, and 2010 BMW 550i GT. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Unit of measurement in diagram: [min]
Description of setting using the diagram (ride-height-dependent measurement/unloaded)
- Read off nominal value (3) at wheel/axle analyzer and enter in diagram (in example: toe +17'/camber -78')
- Move lines (D) and (C) in parallel so that the point of intersection of the two lines (D1 and C1) is the entered setpoint value
- Read off actual value (1) for toe/camber on wheel/axle alignment analyzer and enter in diagram
- Further procedure as when adjusting in design position:
- Drag parallel line to "Wishbone" line (C 1) through entered actual value
- Point of intersection on "Swinging arm" line (D1) produces toe/camber intermediate adjustment value
- Adjust intermediate adjustment value by turning adjusting screw on wishbone
- Refer to operation Adjusting on wishbone
- Adjust setpoint value (1) for toe/camber by turning adjusting screw on swinging arm (toe/camber value moves on line D1)
- Refer to operation Adjusting on swinging arm
