Hi all, Just wanted to know if anyone has the correct details on this. I am trying to set up my 350i as it has a little pull to the left. Thought to get 4 wheel alinement done, and although I have been given some tow in figures, like to know more.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi, adjusting the tracking and front castor done. For the rears do the trailing arms need to be removed to adjust? Also for the camber?

The camber is adjusted by shimming the driveshafts at the diff end.
Loosen the four bolts, pull on wheel or insert old screwdriver and lever to separate then insert shims.
Toe in for the rear is done with shims/washers at the point the trailing arm joins the car.
Do the camber last.
