Geometry setup on E46
Discussion
Just had a wishbone changed on my 2001 330D for an mot and its put the steering out, I'm trying to find out what the front toe in and the rear toe out should be in mm I have the figures in degrees but cant work from it. Also has anyone an idea on where you adjust the front and rear cambers from? was wondering if this is why the steering is now out if there is some adjustment for camber on the bottom wishbone therefore changing the toe in as well.
Front toe- 1.6mm, +/- .91 mm
Rear toe 1.83mm +/- .69mm
Front toe/camber isn't independantly adjustable, you do this by altering the track rod length, which moves both toe and camber at the same time, and hopefully, you get a happy medium.
The rear has a camber control arm which should have an eccentric bolt to give some adjustment of camber, and rear toe is set by slackening off the trailing arm bush mounts, and moving them side to side

The strut tower bolt holes on the e46 are slotted to allow a small amount of camber adjustment by moving the strut top.
