    Camber Pins?

    I had a wheel alignment done on my MK2 yesterday and they told me the front right had more camber than the left.
    Right -1.18
    Left -0.40
    This is making the car to pull to the left slightly.
    They told me i would need camber pins to fix it. I have no idea what camber pins are or where to source them. Any ideas?
    It's running coilovers by the way.

    Most cars have an adjustable camber pin from factory, did they try that. That's assuming VW's run them.

    Do your coilovers have adjustable tops?

    a camber pin is usually just thinner bolt. The camber bolts like mik posted above have the eccentric. I thought mk2s come from the factory with eccentric bolts?
    I have a set here which you can have for $50 if you need them. They have only seen 1 weekends of use

    You need to ask the place what if any adjustment they got out of the existing ones. Also do the coilovers have adjustable tops?

    Nope, no adjustable tops. Not sure if they even adjusted them, is there a way to tell?

    I'll have a look at what is on the car and get back to you. Out of curiosity (and necessity) where are they located?

    They are usually the top clevis bolt, but both look the same - same head size. Ask the place you went too what adjustment they got out of the the existing one? See if they are bull*****ting or not.
