Mark -

The rear suspension is not adjustable in the normal sense of the word - n=
o
tidy little nuts to twiddle.  It can be "adjusted" by loosening the suppo=
rt
hardware, pushing in the desired direction or installing shims, and
retightening the support hardware.  Or by bending a component.

A four-wheel alignment on an E-34 gets you front tow-in adjustment and a
very accurate measurement of all other settings.  If you want the dealer =
to
attempt to adjust the other items, it goes to an hourly rate and somewhat=

crude methods - followed by more very accruate measurements.

Is there such thing as a 4-wheel alignment on an E-34?. . . . Does anyone=

know why BMW E-34's have no camber adjustment on all four corners? =
