What a difference new bushes and wheel alignment makes

[tuco]

I ordered the Meyle HD ones, hopefully will arrive tomorrow or Wednesday, front brake pads arrived today so will get both MOT advisories sorted this week. I've had some great advice in the short time I've been here, cheers !

Hopefully you will notice a big improvement

Give the disc's a check when you get the calipers off

What pads are you going for?

When you are talking about alingment, it would be nice if you post your alignment paper. I am wondering what kind of camber/caster and tracking you are using? Z4 is so sensitive car for tramlining , all areas of tracking has to be 100% correct.
Post image of your tracking certificate.

Most places with a hunter machine will have alignment settings for your car stored in the system, here is mine though if it helps

Thanks for your post. How Z4 now feels to drive, are you using runflats.. does the car tramline?
One thing bothers me, why there is in current measurements paper still difference between L+R sides, for example front toe 0.08 / 0.07.
What i have seen this work to be done it is little time consuming tweak all values equal between L+R sides.. i really dont know if it makes any difference at all.

And i know that different tracking systems have default parametres for each cars. Problem is that for example front camber "green area" is so big. In fact between -0°32 - 1°22 there can be quite different how the car handles.

I can use those images for reference for my tracking work, thanks.

The values are so close i wouln't think it would make an difference, no runflats for me car doesnt drive great atmo but its because it needs new lollipop bushes (getting done today)

Yep, my Z4 had loose bushes when i bought it. Horrible to drive.. I took old ones off and replaced with genuine lemförder. I have not driven it because we have winter, but i know in spring how it will drive now. Maybe i have to do full aligment..

I bought Textar epads, less dust apparently.
