    The rims on your car are for the 7-Series Individual. Are these knock offs or OEM's ?

    Get a new set of rims and tires, or at least borrow ones from a known car that has no problems. Swap and see if it goes away, both front and rear though.

    And take them off a 6-Series, compare the offset of an OEM 6-Series wheel vs the ones you have on.

    Keep us posted.

      your tires were messed up from the previous lower arms, get yourself a new set and then it should be balanced well.

        Probably the case, but not all of it. Why is rim hitting the strut ?

          The current rim isnt hitting the strut now, I reckon the previous rim was and thats why the previous owner changed them with these 7 series ones.

          Hopefully I will install Bruno's wheels these days and see how the car behaves.

          There is a 50% discount for wheel alignment at AGMC, 450 dhs !!! So might get that too if I get proper tyres.

            I dont think its the suspension Eyad because when I swapped the tyres the car's pulling the opposite way. The stupid lady (previous owner) installed 255/45/19s whereas the maximum size allowed for my car is 40 , so mine will always be higher :)

            I am trying to get new tyres at the moment, I want to get 255/30/19s m, which is the slimest acceptable by the manual.
