front control arm frint bushings
« on: November 10, 2023, 05:33:43 am »
Hi, i’m going to be fitting s3 8p lower control arms soon and whilst in there i wanted to upgrade the front control arm bushings but i was wondering if it was worth me going for the camber adjustable bushings or not?

I could be wrong, but I believe those will limit the minimum camber to more than the OE spec. I recall seeing their minimum you can achieve will be near -1.5°. I think our camber specs are -0.50° ±0.50°; so a max camber of -1.0°. This could obviously corrected, if you choose to do so, with a pair of upper adjustable camber plates.

I thought to get them, but I already get a bit of inner tread wear when it is within spec.
