Camber issue
«

Had my Mk5 GTI on a laser alignment this afternoon and the drivers side front camber is massively out. I have a set of H&R springs fitted and my local VW say they can't adjust it as their system is calibrated for standard suspension only. Is there anything I should look for that could cause the camber to be massively out compared to the passenger side. And also if VW can't set up my front suspension who can ?

Find an independent place that have a Hunter machine. They will be able to set the geometry spot on.

The place I went to has a hunter machine but they said they can't set the front camber as the subframe needs to be dropped, dunno if they are talking bull ! Got some new top mounts ordered will get em changed and take to another place.

front camber cant be adjusted on our cars unless you have the adjustable ball joints or cam plates. you can even it up by loosening the subframe and tapping it across to one side but wont gain much by doing it.
