[QUOTE="VTO, post: 575593, member: 23358"] Just to share an expensive info at LT TTDI. My E60 have done the front chamber adjustment 4 months ago at LT. There is suppose a fix front chamber. Below is how they do it: When you open your bonnet, look at the top mounting of each shock absorber. You can see 3 bolts. At the bottom of each bolts there are elongated holes (oblonged oval shape), that is meant for left right adjustment(s). But there is a slight problem before you can adjust the top mounting. When you inspect further next to the 3 bolts there are 2 small holes. One has a pin and another is just hole. Same for L and R. To remove these pins, just use a sharp object (e.g. phillips-head screwdriver) to punch from the top. This is an eye sore moment as the foreman has to brutally use a big hammer to kang-kang-kang until the pin drop into the shock absorber cover below. Both pins can't be found on the floor. Then loosen the 3 bolts on both sides and adjust to the desired L or R. Before this, my E60 tends to go to the left and I always got to pull the steering slightly to the right. So the setting is to set 6 bolts to the right of the driver. So the car has the tendency to the right. Now my car is balanced. Left + Right = Happy driver. This front chamber setting is very minimal only. If your car pull heavily to one side, this might not solve your problem. In my humble opinion. Before this, I have tried many shops to solve this problem. Change tyre, change rims, change absorbers but still can't get rid of the L [/QUOTE]
