Front camber problem.

[Marlon671]

How y'all doing? I just recently purchased an 86 325e. Shortly after, I lowered the car on lowering springs that the PO had sitting in the trunk. The issue I'm having is that the passenger front wheels has a slight camber and is actually sitting perfect, while the driver front seems to either be positive camber or the wheel is pushed out more. The pics attached will show what I'm talking about. I do understand that there is no way to adjust camber on a stock e30 but this is just a bit mind boggling. And ideas on what I can check?

And the side that sticks out... (driver side)

Dislocated shocktower, bent strut, bent spindle, etc. etc.

Now that i remember, it may possibly be the shock tower busings. I know the passenger side is a bit worn. Might have to take a second look when i get home. Thanks for the reply!

Go to a SEARS or something where they offer free alignment specs.
Refresh your front suspension entirely. These cars are old!

What do u mean by free alignment specs? sorry, dont know if i should expect a free sheet that states specs for alignment or a free alignment all together...

A sheet of paper that states the specs of your alignment.

If for some reason your subframe is kicked to one side or the other, that would also affect overall camber. There's not a lot of room for this in the e30 since there are alignment pins for the subframe, but I have had to move a few. Check your cross camber on your alignment printout and let us know.
