i own a BMW 320 CD Conv and the car wanders at speeds over 50mph, the rear wheel was curbed slighty and i bent the lower suspension arm, this part was replaced by my local bmw dealer and also the rear end was all lined up again, unfrotunately the car still seems to wander and feels much tighter on right hand bends than left. has anybody experienced this before, i have had the tracking set as well, it feels like itz crabbing still,any information or help would be much appreciated!!

Phil did you replace the rear wheel? If so did you get the 8.5j rim and not the 8j?

the wheel was checked over and apparently fine so it wasnt replaced, so im still unsure as to where and what the problem is!

Has it had a KDS check- budget £150 for this. Could be ball-joints too I think

not sure if my dealer checked that out, im starting to think that it may be a shocker away or sumthin like that, rear of the car feels like its on jelly on bends.
