Procedure, toe / camber adjustment for ride-height-dependent measurement (unloaded)
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 18 other vehicles, including the 2015 BMW Alpina B7L xDrive, 2015 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive, 2015 BMW 750i xDrive, 2015 BMW 750Li xDrive, and 2015 BMW 740Li xDrive. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Unit of measurement in diagram: [min]
| A | Toe |
| B | Camber |
| C1 | Toe / camber value adjustment by wishbone |
| D1 | Toe / camber value adjustment by swinging arm |
| 3 | Specified setpoint value from wheel/axle analyzer system |
Description of adjustment using the diagram (ride-height-dependent measurement/ unladen):
- Read off setpoint value (3) at wheel/axle analyzer and enter in diagram (in example: toe +12'/ 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 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 ADJUSTING ON SWINGING ARM
