Is there an Camber adjustment on the front wheels.?

Im aware that the rear axles can be tweeked - so long as the parts arent rusted solid..
But  are there after market parts or adjustments that can alter the front camber so that the wheels are wider apart at the bottoms, so as to negate yhe tyre scrubbing on the out side tyre edges ?

When I owned Discoverys, we could get bushes with the bush centres off-set to allow for a modified set up...

What can we do with our X5s ??

Is this what your after

Perfect... just ordered a set.
Thankyou.


I have a mungus great set of tyres/wheels on my X5, matching set all round & rear spacers...
So lifted the rear end 2" by adjusting the air suspn sensors,
Wanting to lift the front to match now, got 2 off 50mm shims for the front suspension tops,
And needed to to adjust the camber to offset the suspn arm pull in.

Additionally, the X5s scrub the front tyre outer edges, so, Im keen to stop this scrubbing & level the tread to the ground in the process.
The extra tyre width on the ground & extended wheel track makes the 2" additional ride height possible without upsetting the Gravity centre point as original.

Looking good now

Update...

The camber adjustment cam'd bolts arrived.... seriously substantial & up to the job.

I also bought some magnet mount Camber level measurement clamps...
These are essentially a super-accurate Looooong spirit level with a magnetic base mount to clamp to the brake disk & an adjuster to centre the device to get a "0" measurement before you start tinkering.

So, firstly, it should benpossible to alter the camber to get rid of the X5 front tyre outer edge scrubbing issue...
And
Reset the camber after the front end is raises 2 inches to bring the geometry correct...

Pics to follow soon.
