2011 e90 front wheel leaning in?
I have a passenger front wheel leaning in like the camber is off by several degrees.
What can this excessive negative camber? driver side looks ok but passenger maybe 1" farther in from the fender lip. Shop just did a basic look and didnt tear into anything and said i have 2 bent struts. I just dont see how the strut can bend without hitting something major. and with both side out of spec enough to require struts to fix it. |

Pictures? It sounds like something was hit, and pretty hard at that. Has someone else driven your car?
I would also question if JUST the struts are damaged. I would hate to spend money on struts and get an alignment just to find out something else was out of specification and have to get another alignment.

You might want to look at the control arms as well, since if one of these were bent it could possibly cause your wheel to turn in. Pictures would def. help.

I have same problem. Infact my rears are worse than fronts. I was told struts were blown. So I got both struts and shocks replaced.
I m driving on winters and plan to get new summer tires in a week. I have gone through a lot of potholes, bubbles and bent rims. I hope alignment will fix everything. |
