Toe and camber? Not caster?

From what I have read on here my understanding is the front only has adjustable toe, (having WALK increases castor) and on the rear there is toe and camber adjustment.

The WALK doesn't increase tyre wear as it only increses caster. Caster dosen't do any harm to tyres at all.

Reduce camber, increase toe in and swap wheels front/rear frequently !!

Your talking about the rear tyres here?

Get your alignment sorted out. Ive had 2 sets of tyres go funny on mk5 golfs because of poor alignment.  :happy2:
