did it fix the problem, did it resolve the tire issue and straighten up the wheels. I got 18000 on a new set of tires. i will replace these joints now before i spend 1400 on rubber, thanks vac.
typically,the x5's sport have about -2 deg camber and non sport -1 1/2 neg. camber.it's supposed to have that negitive camber, so it's not an issue.thats why the x5 sport handle so good. with that said..you will see more than usual tire wear on the rear..if you have the same size all around, then rotate your tires..
the vehicle in your video obviously had more than it should resulting in bad components.so to all the BMW X5 owners. just because your rear wheels tip in with a slight noticable angle, Does not necessarily mean there is something wrong with it.you can limit the wear by taking out some of the neg, but you will lose some of the handling
Good find, thanks for sharing. There are probably thousands of X5's running around with shot balljoints, and their owners (me included up until now!) are just changing the rear tyres, whilst shrugging their shoulders and excepting the excessive wear as a 'design issue'. Again, vacmotors, thanks for sharing!
