Is this true?
« on: 24 August 2013, 10:42 »
A friend of mine that works for slammed media was telling me that the golfs passenger rear wheel is tucked in 5mm more than the the rear drivers wheel, apparently this is to counter balance the fuel tank, he was telling me this because I was telling him I'm thinking about getting 3sdms 0.05 and he was saying I should use a 5mm spacer on the back passenger side. Is this true?

I noticed this on mine once I had my spacers fitted. Now I know why!

I always thought it was just due to wear of the bush. When I replaced my rear beam bush it went back to being even each side

I think it can be minimised by shifting the beam over on the brackets

^^This same as a mk3, the beam can be moved over if needed.
