Front Camber

[peter]

I've recently had ap coilovers, walk kit and powerflex lower front control arm bushes fitted on my ed30, It's had a four wheel alignment done today. The front camber is none adjustable but is out of spec. As anybody else had this problem, what can be done to correct it. Cheers

Yeah just had my 4 wheel alignment done today after fitting a WALK kit and polly bushes

The only way you can adjust the camber is by slackening the subframe bolts and moving the whole subframe. It's very limited to how much you can adjust it by though but should move enough to pull it back into spec.

The tech said if he adjusted it by moving the subframe, it would have pulled the other side out of spec?

Worth Slackening off the top mount and seeing if there's enough shift to get within spec...? If you changing suspension bits like WALK is it ever going to be what VW intended?

I just noticed your alignment is US spec Rich, would this not be set up for left hand drive?

Doesnt make a difference I dont think.

It's really not far enough out to cause any issues.

Thanks Alex, when it comes to my car I have a touch of OCD,  so no doubt I will be on a quest to rectify this come the new year.
