Camber setting

[gizmomk3]

Changing the front struts on my mk3 at t weekend I no I will have to get the tracking done but what is the camber setting and how do you set it ??

Find someone that can check both camber and tracking.

Do'nt lower too much as the camber/tracking people wo'nt be able to fit their setting up equipment on it if it's too low.

I use a small camber meter, which hooks on the wheel, its simple, and really hard to adjust as the wheel needs to be off to get to the bolts ideally, but i nip them up just enough so i can move the camber with a bit of force, works well and most places carry a hand held camber meter.

I have found the camber tool on eBay if I was to win it is it east to set or is it best to got it done in the garage ??

I find pushing the top of wheel all the way in (max negative camber) gives me even tyre wear. It's the first thing I do when I buy a mk3.

If it's at standard hight I still get more wear on the outside edge even with all the negative camber 

I can't be the only one?

get a tyre place with the laser computer alignment jobby to do it - then its within 0.1 degree's etc.

Worth having camber and toe done.

You can run with the MK3 at full negative camber, the adjustment is minimal anyway, Its usually the front toe alignment that will do the tyres in,  Of course bad camber doesn't help
