32 00 620 Adjusting rear axle

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 33 other vehicles, including the 2018 BMW M6, 2018 BMW 650i xDrive, 2018 BMW 650i, 2018 BMW 640i xDrive, and 2018 BMW 640i. 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 vehicles with Active Cruise Control:
Because the driving axis is the reference for ACC ALIGNMENT , it is necessary after an alignment of the rear axle, which alters the driving axis, to check the alignment of the ACC sensor as well!

Adjusting camber:

IMPORTANT: Always loosen the screw connection through the nut!
Failure to comply with this requirement will result in damage to the rear axle support!

Replace nut (1) and apply 5 Nm.

Turn eccentric bolt (2) to adjust camber to setpoint value.

Tighten nut (1).
