Title: Front camber adjustment... a how to...
Post by: robz on 05 May 2011, 21:51
just trying to find a how to as im wanting to add negative camber to my fronts to match the rears...
am i right in thinking that you loosen the 3? bolts on the wishbone next to the ball joint and pull it out as required..?
for a mk3 gti :)

There should be two bolts at the bottom of the strut, slacken them off and tip the wheel inwards carefully.

You should get this done by an alignment specialist such as a Protyre franchise, as you'll need everything set again afterwards, or your car will drive terribly and eat tyres.

understood dh!
im just wanting to play for now, and once the car is back on the road i will have it properly alligned etc....
just wanna learn how to do it, as the garages i have been to never want to touch anything with non standard camber etc... which to be fair i can understand too!
will try and have a play probably after the wedding now but thanks for your help mate ;)
