    Wheel allignment problems

    Thanks
    1DUB2C!
    I got the cheap tyres it was great value
    I got my wheels alligned there as well
    but they say they can't do the camber
    I went back with the workshop manual
    and said you can do it look!! and then they pulled
    the whole we don't have the tool.
    do all mk3s have the tool on the car some
    where??

    Go to Heasmans at St Peters for good wheel alignment, ask for Doug

    that 'tool' be a 18mm (or near that)? spanner! just lazy. no special tool required. just take your wheel off and you can see the two bolts on the strut that if loosened, will give you the play for the camber

    Pedro has bought camber-adjusting bolts for $80 a pair (I think...) from Whiteline.

    Yeah mate you would need to have the geometry set after you fit the bolts, whoever is doing the adjustments are best to fit the bolts at the same time. You only need 1 per side mate thats normally enough
