Alignment issue [Toe]

puppydax · 09-14-2015, 04:15 PM

Hi guys,

I just installed some H&R Sport Springs on my E92 with Sport Struts. I went to Firestone this morning to get an alignment and every wheel went into spec aside from the driver rear tire. They said it is maxed out at 1.09 degrees of toe which is a ton.

Nothing is bent, everything was installed correctly, but would tightening the sway bar end link or strut bolt cause any of this to happen? I just find it odd that the passenger rear adjusted fine, but the driver rear is maxed out at a crazy degree for toe.

The service advisor suggested I get adjustable toe links, which I may have to and is not a problem, but I'm more confused on how the passenger side adjusted within spec, but the driver side did not. I'm not a suspension guru, so apologies for any ignorance here, but input would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Steve

Lol, these cars have 2 adjustments. They probably only used one. Go to a different place

Will definitely try another. He mentioned nothing under the carriage was bent, so he wasn't see why it wouldn't adjust. I thought Firestone was better than this lol. Good thing with the lifetime is I can take it to another.
