Negative camber angle

[TURNA-]

Since lowering my car 60mm my car has now got negative camber angle. Anyone no if there is anything to adjust this?

accentric top mounts, or the bodge way which is top drill 2 holes in ur strut top, movin ur stut 10mm outwards, or u could accentricate one of the holes which hold the strut to the radius arm allowing camber ajustment like the tvr's have... if ur altering ur camber this way ule need to do ur trackin too..

*Calls for cambridge*

All you need is mk1 golf bolts in place of the two bolts at the bottom of the strut.

I didn't quite get the jist of this so if cambridge wouldn't mind explaining again that would help me also.

Can u get them from VW dealer's parts?

[mikeyredtop]

i suppose any bolts will do, they have to be smaller to allow camber adjustment, but be able to with stand the stresses and strains upon the strut etc... or the bolts will just sheer off, i hated doin sheer forces @ uni...

you can buy the bolts for 20 quid or so. i got mine from an alloy wheel shop but cant remember the name.. i'll dig out the receipt and post the number on here.. they did the job perfectly.. no fuss..no DRILLING and not expensive top mounts.

ill come up with some sort of guide or similar at the weekend.
