I talk to you over a year ago. You actually reach out to me. We have many documented cases when GC camber plates failed and GC is pointing a finger to everyone, from the buyer, to the installed and the manufacturer of other parts but not taking responsibility. Is known issue, on our chassis, older chassis and even the new F3x.

Yes, and for over a year with 12 track days and about 15,000 miles, they are still fine.

Please post photos from each side and video from moving the strut up and down when car is off the ground. If bushing is not deformed and strut does not move with free play then yes, your are fine. However, honestly I highly doubt it.

From what I have personally seen and experienced I have to say yes. Only reason I went with CG because Vorshlag were back ordered and Dinan does not offer the camber range I want.

Not (maybe) drag this off topic but but I am trying to find a non-racing fix for the factory 1.8 alignment miss 5 different alignment techs have told me my car has (2011 328xi sedan). I take it in to get an alignment and they give it back without charging me. While I can do most of my own wrench turning being a shade tree mechanic would be a step up, but is that a) real b) is there a reasonable fix?
Thanks
