Front Camber Arm demand

m5 guy · 11-02-2022, 10:01 PM

Just want to bump this thread to express my interest. Had my car aligned after kw v4 install the other week and front camber is -2.8. Could really use a solution here.

Same here!

Factory recommendation: -1.2xº

I wish I have better way to measure the alignment. But, it should gives you rough idea how much it reduce the negative camber.

This would be the cheapest and fastest solution.

This is the solution.
I've done the test already.

What is the a-arm on multi link design? There is an upper control arm that is u shaped and a lower arm. I think folks are not able to understand your solution. Maybe post the part number or picture.

That would be the upper A-arm, the U shape.

I’ve re-read this whole thread again and just to be sure, the fix, or partial-fix is to replace the UCA with factory G05, non-M, part?

Is a part # available along with approximate cost? Any downside to doing this?

Thanks

It is the most economical fix, not a partial-fix.
Downside of doing this, based on what I see between the 2 parts, ball joint on M parts is beefier.
So, downside would be premature wear on non M parts ball joint when the car is driven like a real M car. (Which BMW doesn't approve or will void your warranty when you do).

Part# wise:
31 10 6 883 115 & 31 10 6 883 116

Regular G05 UCA is cast versus the forged UCA on the F95.

JustAnothaM4 · 11-28-2022, 10:00 PM

I'm 100% interested in this if developed!

Regular G05 UCA is cast versus the forged UCA on the F95.

Not sure about it being forged.
I have both on hand.
I can take a picture tomorrow, side by side.

Just installed the non M UCAs on my 2021 X5M with MSS springs. Camber was -2.25 on each side and ate tires after 5k miles. It is now -1.15 on each side, back within spec! Great solution, appreciate all the research RG Sport!

Great to hear! Care to share where you purchased the UCAs from?
