Exactly the same process applies across the entire mk3 Golf range, the only difference is that you'd unbolt the disc on a GTI or VR6 instead of the drum on a lower model.

As said here, the bolts are pretty much exactly the same on the stub axle

Buy looking at this mate its the n/s you have done with left hand bolt yea? so i take it that the o/s is the right side bolt you space yea??

Yeah dude it's the bolt closest to the front wheel you want to put the washer under

ok, had a play this morning, took me ages cos all the bolts were a nightmare to release!!
taken pics too!
so for disc model - take your wheel off - then your caliper -



then remove the bearing and disc -



then CAREFULLY remove the large washer type thing that obscures the 4 stub axle bolts -



then as dan says, undo the bottom bolts completely and remove the washers, then undo the top bolts half way to allow the stub axle to move around.

now as said, you need to put the washer in the side nearest the front wheel, however today i tried 2 washers = 4mm lol on the front and 1 washer = 2mm on the back.
then carefully tighten it all back up. the following picture shows it all done up, but i am concerned that the rear washer still wiggles around, also the gap is also very obvious here too!  -



pop it all back together and the results -





i am gonna take one off each side as i over did it a bit but the results are there to be seen, however i think i will opt for proper camber shims at the earliest opportunity! hth!

Need a slightly thicker washer on the back bolt as you can see there it's quite a large amount of toe which will destroy your tyres in a few weeks / days Cheers for doing the rear brake version though looks easier because you haven't got a big daft drum to get your head under and try and holder washers in

lol, yeah, glad i dont have drums!!
im still not happy with it tbh, i just dont like the idea of no face contact!
but for experiment, its all good!
however that much camber is gonna be a little bit more when its on the floor, so a little bit silly really

Just 1 washer should be fine then?
