E46 Alignment Questions

What's adjustable on my 330CI? Is aligning it to the factory specs the way to go for a DD?

Not a lot is straight up adjustable except toe in the front.

However, if you look a the top of the front strut towers, you'll see a couple locating pins. These are designed so that you can drill them out and get a little more camber if needed to bring the car back to spec.

Of course, my spec was "as much negative as you can give me that's the same on both sides". Ended up being about -1.5d ro -1.75d. It helped the car feel better up front - I'd do it again.

Thanks. What about the back? I think I have too much camber, as it's wearing the tires pre-maturely.

The rear in the e36/e46 is fully adjustable. Make sure the RTABS are good before the alignment or it will be for naught.

What are RTABS?

Rear Trailing Arm Bushings

Thanks. Duh. Yeah, they're good.

Just did one 5 minutes ago. Somehow I could only get -0.3 on the rf max. Guy replaced his lca and struts.
