In this video I show a couple of ways to check the rear camber on a Bmw 320D E90 model, I show a simple DIY method that requires very little tools and could give you a decent result, and I also show you a very accurate way to test it which is also not that expensive.

I found this Camber combo setup, something like this could also be made rover.ebay.com...
Cheap Camber Gauge rover.ebay.com... This is cheaper than what I paid, I think mine was €30.

Fantastic video which I have not been able to find one on RU-vid as clear and as simple as this one. Thx

@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage 4 года назад

Glad you liked it! Thanks for the nice feedback

@mkm7962 3 года назад

Probably one of the clearest simple video's I have seen for this on here. Thanks.

@drbudman8768 4 года назад

Another great simple and to the point video. Looked through RU-vid for this information all-day and found ten people who turned this into a scientific experiment with very little practical implementation. Thanks again Mr Burke

@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage 4 года назад

Thanks very much for the kind words.

This video was so informative! Thank you kindly. Hope to do wee adjustment on my X5 soon. Have a lovely week.

@Jotomoz 11 месяцев назад

Thnx you helped me determine which way the lobe of the eccentric bolt and washer sits. The point towards the U weld not away. I figured it needs to lock somehow. Sorted

@larrymueller5735 3 года назад

Great information, many people run entirely too much negative camber on their rear wheels. I would like to point out that if you change your camber adjustment you must recheck your toe in/out because that is affected with a change in camber. Good video!

@allenmueller Год назад

Oh, so you beat me to it only 2 years ago. LOL

@johnnypolex Год назад

You can also calculate the camber angle somewhat accurately using just that long square + caliper/measuring tape. Arctan((gap @ top of rim - gap @ bottom of rim)/rim diameter) = camber (deg) For example, atan((1/2”-1/4”)/17”) = 0.841deg. This describes a wheel that is angled in at the top of the rim by 1/4” (6.35mm), with a 17” wheel.

@lhlinn7351 3 года назад

Very well done video. Thanks for taking the time to make and post. I've got a similar setup for my Lexus SC430. The camber adjustment is on the other end of the control arm, closer to the wheel. How about toe adjustment for the vehicle?

@martinyable Год назад

Thank you. My local tyre shop , having aligned front , told me they cant adjust rear camber as they would need an 'air bag' . I think they said to push the wheel out wards during adjustment. Has anyone heard of that before , since I havent !

@julesviolin 4 года назад

This assumes the wheels are running true right? We would recommend taking 4 separate measurements by rotating the wheel 90deg each time, then take an average reading of all 4 measurements on each wheel.

@ChandraSQLVideos 4 года назад

Good information..I was really wondering where the camber adjustment will be made in the BMW 320d e90 suspension..is there camber adjustment for front suspension ?

I just had a wheel alignment so the front is taken care of I just have to deal with the back myself? Dealer said no rear camber adjustment but there is!

@denisshulga-mv2yg Год назад

Hey so you don’t need to buy a new set of camber bolts I can keep the ones that are already on there right Just readjusting them if fine or do I need new ones ??thanks

@disturbator Год назад

Hello Can misaligned rear wheels cause steering pull to the right side. ? I have problem on my e87 pulling to the right by itself . Thanks.The front wheels are perfectly aligne i checked with optic machine. The rear one are missaligned.

@CollinBennettBinary 4 года назад

Great educational video. I really enjoyed it. I am never going to adjust the camber myself; but it provide a quick reference for checking.

@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage 4 года назад

Thanks Collin 🙏

@jasonputtock4428 4 года назад

okay try this sum out. 650mm (6.5)- 300mm (3)/ 415 mm = 0.8433 For the wheel (15") should be around 5 degree negative camber. Then google sin tan tables. Then check an approx value. does this help .? after ajustment. you managed 2 negative camber. nice.

@RCincorporated 4 месяца назад

Will this work on an E46 330ci? Thanks

@NilsJakobson Год назад

Changing camber messes up toe-in as well. You need to adjust both at the same time camber and toe-in.

@philip.aocallaghan4602 28 дней назад

Great video, but why would you be bothered when it can be done at a good tyre shop

@ClotEastwood 4 года назад

Brilliant. . thanks a million for that

@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage 4 года назад

Cheers Mike 🙏🙏

@martinyable 3 года назад

if the negative camber is reduced, lets say from -1 to -.05, which way will the toe adjustment move?

@MrEviss Год назад

does the toe change when you do camber? would like to see this when you do on e60

@HRHAF 6 лет назад

Hello.Id like to ask a question hope you can answer.So i took my bmw3.18 for an allignment but they told me that for the rear right tire they couldnt adjust the camber and they dont know why(basically told me to buy kinda everything there is till problem is fixxed) . I tried fixing it myself but adjusting the camber bolts but they are to the maximum and i still have negative camber

@Maxim.Teleguz 6 лет назад

if this adjustment is off in 325xi would it make it feel like a flat tire in rear feel like it wants to fish tale whenever theres snow or dirt on rd

@viktorgip658 5 лет назад

My bet is on the toe being a little off

@scottishpatriot5908 4 года назад

I hit a big pothole last night. Now My steering wheel is not aligned with wheels (it’s off center). My steering is also dangerously out of control. Does not feel save to drive. Does anybody have an idea what is wrong?

@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage 4 года назад

Sounds like something in out of shape (damaged) I would get it inspected on a lift asap.

@scottishpatriot5908 4 года назад

Thanks for the reply Gerard. I have it booked into garage tomorrow morning. Let’s hope it’s not too costly.

are u looking for an aprentice i only live 10mins away,i tryd to get into the field before but nothing came up stable anough so ive just been doing abit of landscaping and farming at home im 27 cant say i know much but defo always wanted to be a tech and would be fairly keen in all aspects automotive hope u gimi a bell back to let me know if u will be taken on the road tks

@GerardBurkeBurkesGarage 6 лет назад

Hello Tom, Thanks for the comment first of all, My email is in the description should you have any further questions. To answer your question on hiring an apprentice, I am sorry to say the answer is no, I currently only work with experienced/qualified technicians. The main reason is I simply do not have time to train an apprentice and give him the time needed to grow in this trade. I am very busy each day running the workshop and I fully believe an apprentice needs to have a mechanic shadow him for 2/3 years. If you are serious about it I encourage you to keep looking, I hope you find something for you. All the best.
