F21 back wheels need to be aligned?

bimmerblanco · 06-02-2015, 12:01 AM

Hi, I live in Mexico City and unfortunately our streets are a big disaster. When rain season arrives, you can find really big wholes all over the streets and avenues. Unfortunately yesterday I fell on a big whole so I broke up my pilot side rear tire. It didn't pinch but it has a big lump on the side and it scratched. I can see the steel. So it has to be replaced. I had luck and there's no damage to the rim. The wheel received all the crash.

My question is if the rear axle has to be aligned just as the front one. Or just repairing the wheel and balancing it is ok? Some cars don't need to be aligned in the rear. I don't know if the F21 2014 is that case.

Could you help me please?

Yes, the rear axle can be aligned and probably should be given the impact!

Yes, an independent set up can move out of alignment.
You should have a 4 wheel alignment done.
