Recently got my z4 and although she handles beautifully in general, when I get past 60 there is some sort of feedback from the steering causing her to wander. I'm 99% sure it's not a case of tramlining as I've suffered that with cars in the past. This feels more "motorised" if anything. Like force feedback on arcade game steering wheels. Asthough there is a motor pushing the wheel from side to side about 10 degrees each way, smoothly and about 2 seconds each way (hope that makes some sense!).
Anyway, first port of call was alignment. I had it checked and put straight by a local garage but he found that the nsf camber was 1degree out making it a bit positive. He told me there was no adjustment. I did some quick research and found there was adjustment in some way so took it to a local performance car garage with a good reputation, including for z4. He did the same and suggested it wasn't adjustable and maybe something was bent and to start with changing a shock...
I've just done further research and found that the car had a new shock last year and there is adjustment by removing the camber pin. Can anyone please confirm whether I could get 1 degree adjustment out of this method?
Here is its current state, pretty much central. I just don't want to go and tell the garage what to do if I haven't got my facts straight!
Thanks!!
