Wheel alignment still not corrected after alignment

Post by celica » Sat Aug 15, 2015 8:36 pm

My x5 pulls to the left

So have out on 4 new tyres on

Wheel alignment done twice at a highly recommended place

Previous to this I had an alignment done and swapped the front wheels around when I had newish winters but made no difference when checking if it was wheels

Mine has adaptive suspension, could this be causing an issue?

I'm confident the wheel alignment place is doing tweaks and adjustment as per his feedback from machine correctly; as he has new high end cars, sport cars all going to him; which leads me to think its the car

He doesn't think anything looks bent

Unsure on next steps

interesting!

I've had several cars - Merc E class estates, an E53 and now an E70 - that all pull to the left on heavily cambered roads in the UK.  When driving on the right side on heavily cambered roads in Europe, the cars pulled to the right. I think it's more to do with the extent of road curvature between the crown and gutter than wheel alignment...

I'm back on Runflats now I've come back to a BMW, I notice it going with the camber too, I had the same on my E60 when I first got her, but disappeared when I fitted normal tyres, when these are worn to 3 mm I will be doing the same. Msport suspension and Runflats Ahhhh my fillings are loose. :'(

When I picked the car up it was just the same and with runflats

I've replaced with non run flats all new
Front track rod arms replaced too as they were seized
