E30 'senget'

[Rastabimmer]

To all bm sifu out there....Need some help immediately about my new problem..huhuMy E30 'senget' sedikit at right side,after checking I've found my rear tyre at right side terlebih condong (over negative) from tyre at left side, someone said this is bcoz camber problem (camber sudah lari) & E30 can't adjust camber likes other car melainkan dgn cara 'bakar' camber & manually adjust back to the spec....another efect is bush oledi kaput (already check bush OK),so u guys have any idea bout this 'senget' problem?????

Hello friend,

Not only your car slanted to the right. Other bimmer mostly in Malaysia also having the same problem. The thing is some of us not realize on this matter unless u take a ruler and measure the gap at tyre area. Why this thing happen ? Germans had design the UDM base on left driving and the steering compartment, accelerator, brake, odometer and etc are on the left. This will balance the right portion that equipped with bulky battery at the back.

Then when this car imported to MY, all of the mentioned things above are switch to the right. Plus the battery of course the car will offset and tilted.

Acceptable answer........my bluepanther is also very slightly tilted to the right. When travelling with passengers onboard..........i always make sure the heavyweight category sits on the left, the middleweight category sits in the middle and the lightweight category sits on the right......to get maximum balance and comfort especially during high speed.......this is no joke....

Wah...this is good info for me...before this I dunno about this 'normal' scenery of our bimmer!! Thanks guys....!!!!

But one more thing,why my rear right tyre to over tilted from my rear left tyre??? ONLY MY REAR RIGHT TYRE.... I know our bimmer have camber negative setting but that tyre very over over 'senget' lor......something wrong somewhere (rear arm/bushing/camber/spring/etc..???????)

[chriseunos]

[datsunnismo]
