Rear (E65)

NOTE: A change of camber always involves a change of toe. Adjust camber first. See REAR (E65)  under CAMBER ADJUSTMENT.
  1. Replace nut (1). Ensure eccentric washer (2) is correctly located. See Fig 1. Tighten nut (1) to specification. See E65  under TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS.
  2. Release nut (1) again by 1/2 to 1 turn.
  3. Adjust toe with eccentric screw (3) precisely to specification. See E65  under WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS.
  4. CAUTION: If the nut is tightened down more than 10 times during adjustment, it must be replaced again. The self-locking effect becomes too slight.
