    Default 92 E34 Wagon - Control Arm Situation

    A few weeks ago I looked down at my front tires and noticed that I had major wear to the outside of the tires. I changed both upper and lower control arms about 18 months ago and since I do not drive it much anymore, I have not really payed attention to the tires. Plus it drove dang straight after the job. I posted a picture of the tires.

    I do not think I had the car loaded when tightening them down...arrrgggghhh.
    Here's my questions:

    1) Can I fix this issue as the car is now? If so, what would be the best way to go about that?

    or

    2) Do I need to replace the arms again? If I should then how the heck do I ensure the car is properly loaded?

    And

    Do I need the piece that allows one to adjust the camber (I think they are installed on the upper part of the strut)?

    The ride height is 23 7/8" on the passenger side and 24 1/8" on the drivers side which is higher then the 23 1/8 that the Bentley manual calls for.

    Before I go put new tires on, I need to fix the camber problem.

    As always, thanks in advance for all of the help.
