    stock e30 alignment specs

    as the title says im looking to find out what the factory specs on toe/camber/etc are. cause i took my car to get it aligned and i received 2 sheets of paper. one of them saying the manufacturer does not specify the rear alignment specs and the other is the front camber/toe specs. someone help please. thanks

    The only adjustments for an E30 in stock configuration is front toe. I think the Bentley has numbers for stock front & rear camber and rear toe.
    The car makes it possible, but the driver makes it happen.

      alignment specs are as follows (as stated in my FMC book)

      1987-91 E30:

      wheelbase 101 3/16
      front treadwidth 55 3/8
      rear treadwidth 55 11/16
      Camber (degrees)-.069+/-.050 Front
      -2+/- .050 rear
      Caster (degrees) 8.75+/- .050

      Toe (inches/degrees)0.16+/-0.05 .031+/- 0.09 Front
      0.19+/- 0.06 0.38+/- 0.13 Rear

      Turning Angle outside 18.16 inside 20 Included angle 13.5

      Notes,

      Alignment should be carried out with the following load 150lb on each front seat, 150 on middle of rear seat, full tank of fuel 31lb in trunk.

      suspension ride height should be as follows

      Front 22 7/16 rear 20 1/16 tolerance of 3/8 inch


      as Jlevie has stated, the only FACTORY adjustment is front toe, but this gives the full shooting match in case you have installed additional adjustment in the form of camber plates (front) or fully adjustable rear suspension (welded in kit)

      Hope this helps
