I undid my 3.5 rotations, then did 3.5 in the opposite direction, and that gave me too much toe out. Settled on 2 rotations out and it looks fairly normal and drives decently enough to get me to the alignment shop on Tuesday.
This was 3.5 turns in (both wheels were like this equally): View post on imgur.com |
Whoops. Sorry about that. It was a couple years ago when I did the M3 control arms on my second 1-series, and actually swapped the OE control arms back to my first 1-series. I clearly had it backwards, but glad you got it sorted. Again, my apologies.
