Rear (E39)

NOTE: A change in camber also means a change in toe. This means that camber must be adjusted first.
  1. Before adjusting, replace disc collar nut (1) and ensure eccentric washer (2) is correctly located. See Fig 1. Tighten disc collar nut to specification. See E39  under TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
  2. Loosen disc collar nut 1/2 to 1 complete turn.
  3. Using the eccentric screw, adjust camber precisely to specification. See E39  under WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS.
    4. CAUTION: If the hexagon collar nut is tightened down more than 10 times during adjustment, it must be replaced. The self-locking effect becomes too slight.
  4. Tighten down disc collar nut (1). Ensure that eccentric washer (2) is correctly located. See Fig 1. Tighten disc collar nut to specification. See E39  under TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
