Hi All
Went to have my 04 Mini S aligned and the shop said that it needs to go to a body shop to have the front end looked at. They said that was the only way to fix the Camber. Here are the numbers

Left front camber 0.69 (spec -0.92) Right front camber -1.01 (spec -0.92)

They said the main problem is with the Cross Camber 1.70 (spec -0.50)
Can someone please tell me what to look for in the front end that might cause this issue?

Here is all the numbers
LF RF
0.69 Camber -1.01
4.07 Caster 3.59
0.14 Toe 0.13

Front
Cross Camber 1.70
Cross Caster 0.48
Total Toe 0.27

LR RR
-1.31 Camber -1.53
-0.09 Toe 0.15

Rear
Cross Camber 0.22
Total Toe 0.05
Thrust Angle -0.12

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Cheers
Rob

 

Where are you from?

I've been having serious alignment issues with my car and will be taking it to an independent shop in the next week or so. The dealership was unable to fix the alignment in the three times I brought it in to have it fixed

 

I am near Dayton OH and work at Wright Patterson AFB

 

I wonder if this is your issue ... https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=78629

 

I do have a little mushrooming on the right side but I don't think it is enough to have the numbers off that much. The left side is the one that is off the most. I also checked for cracks and didn't see any. Do you have to remove the strut to see the cracks?

Cheers
Rob
