New FCAB and need for alignment

Hi,



I need your advice for the issue that I'm facing: Of late, I'm seeing my front tires (on 2005 325i e46 M54) wearing more on inside. Both the tires show the same level of wear. I could feel the vibration on the steering and wobbling while braking, so lifted the car with the stock jockey and looked at the FCAB by shaking the wheel and could see CM shaking with in the body of FCAB. So, ordered genuine BMW part and replaced front FCABs and now I don't see steering wobbling while braking.



My questions now are:

o Would the inside wear be rectified with the new FCAB?

o Do I need to get wheel-alignment done?

o As camber can't be adjusted on M54 chassis, could it be

due to any issue with changed toe angle? Do I need to get

the toe angle checked and get it readjusted?

o As far as wheel alignment is concerned, I don't see the car

dragged to one side while braking, so alignment seems

to be proper.



And one more observation was, when I lifted the car, I saw lot of oil deposited on the surface of the reinforcement plate and the plastic guard. Color of the oil is similar to engine oil, so what could be the cause of the leak, is it oil pan gasket?



Thanks for your time and help.



With regards,

BR
