Hi Fellas,
Someone from the car club told me that the e21 had available a control arm that was adjustable to allow for more camber. Have any of you heard of this?

I didn't think to ask if it was a factory item or after market, but he said that the section outside of where the sway bar connects was threaded and could be adjusted like a tie rod.

It sounds a little hookie to me, but if they exist, I'd definitely like a set!

Thanks
Chris

Certainly not oem. To get more camber on the front wheels the normal fix is adjustable upper strut mounts.

Hey Chris,

Korman had eccentric inner control arm bushings available as of a few years ago. I bought them for my previous 323i. They give a fair bit of camber adjustment [more than KMac] - so they might be the trick if you are looking to stay with OE type strut bearings. The kit comes with grease fittings, aluminum eccentric and delrin bushings.

Kind regards,
Blair

Thanks guys.

I already have upper camber plates up front, but the max I can get out of them is 1.9 degrees. I'll take a look into what Korman has to offer.

Best
Chris
