Hi guys.
I've noticed of late that my N/S front wheel (RHD E39) has a fraction of positive camber and today a four wheel alignment check carried out by my specialist confirmed this.
For info, the N/S front is currently sitting at +0deg11' compared to the O/S front which is at -0deg44'.
I was slightly concerned to note that the E39 apparently doesn't have any camber adjustability as standard and therefore the only option - as far as my mechanic was concerned - is to start replacing the various N/S components to see if this rectifies the problem. Obviously this would be rather expensive and potentially fruitless.
Is anyone aware of an issue which would cause this (other than hitting kerbs at speed) and are there any other options I could try to resolve it?
Additionally I'm also getting severe steering judder under light to moderate braking, which intensifies if I drive the car hard. Could this be related?
Many thanks.
