That is what happens when the parts from E32/E31 are used for the E34. The story copied
Just got done at the alignment shop hoping to fix my problem but they said there was nothing wrong with my front end.

The PO a said Something about putting e39 control arms or maybe 7 series? Could this be the issue? The alignment shop said that the trust rods may be to long causing it to push out?
-------
I'm going to go out on a limb and wager that some dope installed e32/e31 thrust arms on your car, part #31121139999,31121140000
Replace them with part #31121141097, 31121141098 with bushings #31121136605
You can shop around and find them with bushings already installed, but this ought to give you a very good idea of why your wheels are mislocated.

--------------
I got the wrong 7 series control arms once and they did the same thing.

Idk what was in there but they where wrong haha

If it looks displaced towards the rear its because you've hit a kerb and bent the control arm ask how I know :/

Same here but it was a huge pothole. Those arms are soo much longer I doubt the person working on it even cared. Get er done with whatever was cheaper. Don't know the whole story here but I can imagine it is interesting.
