left rear wheel off center if anyone knows please help
got 2004 E85 just noticed that my left rear wheel is more closer to the bumper rather than the right side wheel, so the left side looks kinda off center, is there any kind of adjusment can be done or the bushings needs to be changed? funny that a month ago seen similar car and had same problem and it was completely stock, the reason i want to get it fixed as im lowered on h&r springs with "15mm pucks and have fenders rolled and slight pull and wheels are 18x10.5 ET22 with 255 35 18, right side rides fines as it seems to be on center but the left side is kinda off and its actually rubs the bumper corner on a bumps.
if anyone can help please let me know checked the suspension on real oem suspecting one of the bushings might be worn as its looks not adjustable only the camber with eccentric bolt |

Measure the wheel base on the left side of the car and compare it to the right from center hub front to center hub of the rear wheel. You might have body damage that wasn’t repaired correctly and the actual problem is the back of the car was not put back together correctly.

What do you mean by "off center?" You mean the wheel is closer to the front of the wheel well? Or that one wheel is closer to the top of the fender than the other?

I'm with longress on this one.
Far more likely that your wheel well is in the wrong place and not the wheel.

Pictures?
Someone may be able to help with a visual. Hard to believe the axles and suspension is not centred in car.

Yeah. Useless to keep guessing IMO. Given the age of the car it’s likely a number of combination of things.

If you're indicating the tire/wheel looks closer to the rear or front of the car more so than the other side, the only thing I can think of that would allow that is the rear trailing arm bushing on one side is defective. That's the part that has the most effect on the front to rear position of the rear tires.

here is the pics already spoke to one bmw tech said its one of the bushing worn on that side or alignment needs to be done on all 4 corners since rear suspensions is like on e46 there is 3 bolts that can be adjusted to bring the wheel to the center if all of the bushing are fine, car has 74000 miles hopefully by the end of this week will be putting on the hoist to check the bushings, for now i put less agressive wheels with spacers and stock springs Last edited by M54E85; 04-25-2018 at 07:22 AM.. |

Not sure about your model car but I know the rear trailling arm bushing (RTAB) on the M and M3 go bad very quickly. It is #4 in your diagram.
