Bent lower arms in rear suspension
Im faily new to the forum so not sure if this has been asked but i own a e93 m3 and have just but bbs ch on the car with 295 rear tyres the car has stock suspension still. But turns out i scrub on the rear right side because the lower arms are bent and there is no more camber to be adjusted.
Just wondering what the best solution to this might be. Any help is appriciated |

you talking about the steel trailing arms? I think bending them might be more coomon than most realize. My car has never hit a curb yet i found both of mine bent last week after a failed alignment. Solution? Replace them, they're fairly cheap at $50/side. They are also designed to be the weak link in the suspension to protect everything else back there.
edit: I see you're upside down. Might want to budget $100/side for those arms... |

yeah, it sucks, hey? Mine can sort of be explained with the enormous potholes where I live, but I remember the roads in Sydney being pretty pristine when I lived there.

Results of careless tow truck operators. They have a tendency of using those arms for strapping down the car when towing. Has your car ever been towed? Very common in the E46 world

Hey. No the car has never been towed it was bought brand new the bloke at the tyre shop shop said its probs from hitting a pot hole. The front is also out abit but not to worry as the front is same set up to stock its only the 295 that are the killer as it scrubs.
