Rear wheels - one hidden in arch one not?
« on: 15 September 2012, 12:09 »
My rear passenger wheel is more into the arch than my driver side rear... its been lowered by 35mm and has no spacers or anything?
Why could this be?

Cheers

rear beam has a slight bit of adjustment on the brackets, might be worth shifting it over

Its not much adjustment. A few mm tops.

Some mk4's suffer this and some don't

Mines a bit lower on one side to the other way well. Wasn't aware of this either! Will have a look :)

Not lower on one side to the other, one side the wheel sticks out more than the other side

Common problem on lowered mk4 golf. Rear beam sits farther to one side than the other.
