My Ride: 535D Tourer - Pre LCI
oh the trials and tribulations of this frickin car - went for the geometry yesterday.
The rear they couldn't get bang on (pretty damned close), i imagine this is due to the height - worse, the track rod ends were going nowhere! they suggested they remove them and get them on the bench, heated up. I'm not entirely convinced as heating steel to release it HAS to affect the integrity/strength. So I've ordered two new ones from Euro with the BIMFOR25 code - £54
Plans, fit those chuffs and source some M sport shocks complete before taking it for another geometry
