On my 87 535is just bought about a month ago. I have a front 
wheel camber problem. The front right wheel has I think about -50' of 
caber; right on the spec.

	A bmw fellow in the know sugggested that because I have oversize 
tires the borderline caber might be noticable while driving.

	The car pulls to the right - really only noticable on highways.

	The Bentley Service Manual makes reference "The original 
three-corner upper strut mount...can be replaced with an eccentric 
version ... the new strut mounts add or subtract 30'..."

	This sounds like what I need. Does anyone have any 
experience/information about these eccentric struts?
