The mk4 is renowned for having a wider track on the passenger side than the drivers side. I've heard that the axle can be manhandled over a little to balance out the difference, but I'm not 100% sure if it will work on a Mk2 as well

Mk2's always tend to have a difference, I believe you can shim the rear beam to sort it.
