Title: Fitted SuperPRO Ball joints, hubs and brakes today - wheel alignment
Post by: Christiank on August 11, 2018, 09:30:04 pm

Hi guys,
So want to know what you guys are running the alignment for front wheels?

I installed superPRO ball joints that can be adjusted like the Audi TT ones..

Not sure if this has some to say, but running 225/40/18 wheels and the car have Bilstein B12 sportline kit

I run 1.5 deg of camber with my SP balljoints and would recommend similar on rear. Toe out is @5min on front and rear for quicker turn in.

So guess.. Finally got the job done. Swapping from alloy hubs back to fresh refurbed steel ones.

As the topic tittle says the Superpro ball joints are also installed - However now I got a problem with the alignment of the front wheels.


The ball joints says "L" and R" so guessing not much can go wrong there. But I can't my passanger (right) side to be -1.5? In fact it doesn't go negative at all? Left side (drivers) is about the -1.50 … Think it's -1.47 or something right now since I need to figure out why I can't get right side negative..


Anyone got any ideas to what could be the issue?  :confused: :drinking:
