Camber query
« on: July 19, 2020, 02:51:37 pm »
I know people have asked and I've searched but the answer wasn't clear
On the mkv gti, the rear axel camber is adjustable, but which bolt is it?

Great pic  :happy2:

Before attempting to adjust the toe, I would buy a pair of bolts/nuts from VW first. They seize up and often need to be cut off if heat and impact guns don’t budge them.

The camber bolts seem to be fine.

I'm assuming mine had been replaced as they moved well when the were adjusted

i've had the bolts for a while i just need to get the bushes.. probably going to grab the cheap set off ebay at some point tbh (PSB i think it is, they're not too bad i have replaced a couple on the touran with them)

I bought a full set of PSB but only fitted the front as the bolts on the rear won't move hence me getting the bolts in anticipation of them needing to be replaced. I don't want the car stuck in the air as a bolt has snapped.

i agree @bobby_fodge i'm pretty sure ill be dropping the whole rear frame on mine and angle grind them all out! the camber bolt is hard to get to at the best of times! let alone when its seized!
