Front (E46)

NOTE: A change in camber also means a change in toe. This means that camber must be adjusted first. See FRONT (E46)  under CAMBER ADJUSTMENT.
  1. Move wheels and steering gear to straight ahead position. Markings on cap (1) and on housing (2) must line up. See Fig 1.
  2. Slacken clamping nut (1) on steering tie rod. Adjust wheel toe-in by turning tie rod at hexagon head (2). See Fig 2. For specification, see E46  under WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS.
  3. Make sure steering packing is not turned. Tighten clamping nut to specification. See E46  under TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
