    Alignment Help Needed

    I just got my '89 325ix aligned. I looked at the print out and saw that they used the e30 Base Model (325/325e/325es) specifications (toe/camber/etc.) for my car. After seeing that they used those specifications for my car (toe/camber/etc.) I googled 325ix alignment and found someone who posted their alignment info for their 325ix. The specified ranges seem to be different than the print out I got for my alignment.

    My question to the board is, should I take my car back to get it redone to the 325ix specifications? I'm asking because toe/camber and all that other alignment info is beyond my knowledge. Please see the photos below for the print out given to me (top photo) and the print out I found online for a 325ix (bottom photo).

    BTW, my car has a completely stock suspension, stock 15" iX rims, and 205/55r15 tires all around.

    all they can adjust is toe. so realistically, it should be fine as long as they put in a little toe in.

      And that's *front* toe. Nothing else on a stock suspension can be adjusted, for better or for worse... What the shop really did was give you a printout and take your money.

      LOL at the 1.1 and 1.4 degrees of caster when the "spec range" is 8.0 to 9.0.

        yeah, a shop did the same thing on mine. no biggie, the toe was set right. I think I had like 2 degrees of caster, I believe stock ix spec is about 1.2.
