Dear all,My 528i yr 2000 "dances" out at hard cornering. I will get worse if i downshift...scary s**t! My mech asks to check the camber / alignment. He may be correct cos i adjusted it a few weeks back when i noticed my rear falkens wore the inner faster (makan dalam)...any advise from the sifus is welcome. Tq
 
Rear camber should be -1.50 to -1.70 and it quite usual for rear tyres (the inner ribs) to wear off faster. Where did you do your last camber/alignment?

About a month back. Probably i should go back to the right camber setting. i think it is less than 1.0 now.
 
rears 'makan dalam' means your camber is negative, which should make it difficult for the rear to dance. check all bushes.

Did alignment again...it was off camber and the alignment guy acknowleged it. He did not monitor his staff's work. Anyways, that particular staff resigned alrdy. Feels a lot better now..can already feel the difference on small bumps and curves. Havent tried hard cornering yet. TQ guys
