Castellated / Sawtooth rear tyres mk7 GTI

Thanks all, is there a 'best place' to get the alignment done? Is vw best, or hunter, or someone else?

Is the rear camber adjustable at all?

Yes rear is adjustable and vw mostly sub it out to someone else anyway. Chemix is a good place to have 4 wheel alignment done if you have a branch near you.

Sometimes it is also down to the guy doing it as mulch as the equipment a lot of places have the rihlght kit just don't really care.

Popped in for another alignment check somewhere else and although officially within the green it's right on the edge for rear camber. They tried to adjust but the bolt is seized so it's booked in next week to free up the bolt and sort the alignment.

Any thoughts on whether there's any benefit in changing the tyres at all? Reluctant really as they have 6mm on them still, they're just stepped

Suck it up and bin them. You won't need to change them again for another 60k probably after that.

So latest development, they can't adjust the rear because the rear lower arm bolt is stuck, when they turn it it spins the bushing too.
Their suggestion is to replace the bushing which only comes with the lower arm.

Anyone had any experience with the inner lower bushings on the rear please? They suggested around £500 for bush, arm, fitting and alignment, seems a lot really
