Rear toe out and bolt is frozen. Updated Result.
I'm going to need a new R/R toe arm. Does anyone know if I can get enough toe adjustment from a stock arm to get this in spec. Having trouble locating an adjustable one for an 07 328xi. Doesn't look like much fun to get the seized bolt out.

My right rear '13, E84 was froze. My guy got it set proper on the rack.
I changed all the arms and bushings shortly after and discovered it was froze, he didn't tell me. Problem caused it to spring down worse than full droop. Sometimes I felt hop, bounce on the highway. So the answer is maybe yes and possibly no, depending which way they need to adjust it. |

Partial followup. I had to use a Sawzall to get the inner rear tie rod bolt out. Went quicker than I thought it would. Tried soaking it over and over with nut buster to no avail. Now to install the front lemforder tie rods and get it aligned.

Follow up up on this: Installed the tie rods and R/R lower control arm. Went back for the alignment. They broke off the other lower rear control arm bolt. Ugg! That side was in alignment spec until they adjusted the right side. Bought more parts and then sawzalled off the other side. Went back and the alignment was finally completed. I must say that Town Fair Tire was great during this mess. I was only charged for 1 alignment even though they did it 3 times. They also matched the tire price with Wal Mart.
