Hey guys, Havent been logging onto the forum for quite awhile since my new job. Hehe.. Anyhow, my E60 525i Sport just finished its run-flats and i got them changed to normal non-thumpflat tires now.. Toyo T1R. At the same time, i also changed my springs to the Eibach ProKit springs. What a letdown man. The front is higher than the standard springs on the 525i Sport. Only the rear is somewhat lower although negligible. Anyhow, when i first bought the car, the alignment was abit off. To go straight, i had to hold the steering pointed to the left somewhat. I brought it back to AB and they aligned it multiple times and they insisted the steering was straight. In the end, they reseted the Active Steering or something to that effect and it was all good. Now after changing my tires, the tire shop has aligned it twice. Every time he aligns it, it becomes worst and pulls to the left more. To go straight, i hold the steering straight but after every alignment, im needing to hold it to the right somewhat cause when i let go, the car veers to the left. And at higher speeds, the steering isnt juddering but i can feel a juddering vibration from the car. I can only assume this is due to balancing but balancing was done twice.. Any one been through similar problems? Thks alot for the responses in advance.. Best Regards,Kenny
 
Bro,

For the balancing, u can try to send it to Glenmarie in front of Alfa Showroom, they can do better as i knew cause AB also send there for tyre problem. Good Luck. Cheers !!!
 
Addendum:

Ive sent the car back to the shop again for an alignment yet again and now there seems to be a different problem.

He told me that the camber on my car is off.. Meaning my tires are like so.

One tire is angled and one isnt. So i asked him how do you fix this, he said have to get a camber kit and install or pump my arms or something to that effect.

So i said nevermind, install back my stock springs tomorrow and ill take it back to AB and see what they say..

Is it true about that camber bit?
