Too much toe out i meant!
Hi guys, The inner edge of the rear tyre had a huge spot of wear with the lip on my gf's e36 and it looks like there is way too much toe out from the alignment specs (+2 mm) camber was too positive compared with spec which is the cause of the wear. My gf took the car to the shop and she is not very good at translating from mechanic speak but the story is at max adjustment that was the best they could do for alignment.
I just want to check I am suspecting the lower control arm (33326770813) is bent rather than something like the rear trailing arm bushes. Does this sound about right?
link to real oem so you can see the part i am talking about (http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=BE72&mospid=47426&btnr=33_1004&hg=33&fg=30)
