Yesterday (finally) i solved the big trouble to rear axle.

Before 150 km testing, i check a dangerous feeling with car. Impossible to drive. At the rear is like a flag.

- camber -4.10
- toe +0,51

Excessive and too dangerous, it's time to solve with other shims. Founded by a guy that found the right data on vwVortex.

The new and right shims

Each rear Hub is fitted with 3 shims: 1 thick (/// or 3 mmm) and 2 more thin (// or 2 mm)

In the photo below, the right positioning on rear hub ( in the shot: the rear left hub front wieving. In the pic is showed with drums, but it's the same with disc)

Finally defitted my wrong shims (fitted only in the 2 bolts under hub)

3 hours for all 2 hubs

Rear hub in perfect condition also the wrong camber use.

And finally it's all ok!

Result:

-3 camber
+ 0,09 toe ( the same wolburg data)

Golf is perfect the feeling is optimal, and the rear is perfect. I'm very happy!

And now the last setting work.

The front (worne) setting to find my way to low

With Mercedes Felgen, no problem with space from Fege to gewinde, but with Artec i Didn't have the safe clearence, and i can't low anymore.

IHMO i have only 2 way.
- Fitting higher wheel spacer (from 22 to 30 spurveirbreiturung)
- Settng a new camber

Yesterday i start to work with camber

With laser precison tools to measure angle, I stated my work.

Before to change, i check my standing camber: -1,3 degree with neutral upper camber plate.
I changed the camber wheel from -1,3 to +0,15

Now the standing of the wheels.....too much outside for me

I full close the camber plates

The finalstanding is great:

- Total camber -1,20
- The wheels is now corret positoned
- I have the right clearence to work safe with coilover, and i have the space to low the front axle.

Finally i lowered 1,8 cm anymore

:D:D

I check my data in Tyre center (all good and perfect...now i can make myself camber/toe adjust)

Handling and feeling are perfect and no scratch. I'm very happy!
