Does this Alignment look right?

[89fiveo]

Took my wife's '04 330i in for an alignment at a BMW specialty shop. Below are the before and after settings. Do they look right? I was a bit worried with BMW X3 E83 in the header. Apologies if this doesn't display correctly, it looks all screwy on my phone. 26860

Is the pin on the drivers upper shock mount knocked out? Good difference in negative camber between left and right side

[89fiveo]

I noticed that as well. Both sides still have their pins. Also noticed this screw in the drivers' side shock tower. Think it was straightened out at some point. What are the factory alignment settings on ZHPs?

Thanks, that's helpful.

Yeah.... They could have done better on front camber by removing pins.

It does look like the guy keyed in the wrong car (X3) but the good news is it's not a bad alignment. This actually will be better on the street than the zhp specs. They did fix the imbalanced camber in the back. They did not touch the front cambers. The sheet confirms exactly what the intact pins show. If it's pulling to the right I'd take it back and have them punch the pins out and balance the front cambers. How does it drive?

Sorry, just checked in again. Car seems to drive fine, doesn't pull at all. I'll keep my eyes on tire wear, since I brought it in due to severe front inner wear. Once I throw some Koni Yellows up front to match the rear, I may have the dealership pop the pins and give it a proper alignment.

Has anyone heard of rear camber bolts breaking so shop is not able to adjust rear camber? Firestone wanted to replace my rear control arms for this, but is it just as simple as replacing the broken bolts and readjusting?

[Dave1027]

Typically the control arm can get bent from hitting a curb requiring it be replaced.

[papa_g]

The control arms are fine. I think the mechanics were just unable to adjust the camber, so concluded the bolt are broken. I am going to buy a new pair and replace the old ones. They are probably all corroded and seized.

....but first I a should take a look at the old ones and see if I can't get them out and clean them up.

[Sockethead]

It's common for the bolts to seize. They end up destroying the control arm in the process of getting the thing off.
