Title: Drivers side front wheel has more negative camber than passenger side
Post by: Harz on March 19, 2014, 03:11:37 pm

Hi all
I had my wheel alignment checked adjusted and my front drivers side camber is out a bit and is visibly noticeable when looking at the car from the front.
Here's the wheel alignment paperwork...

What do you think could've caused this? I've fitted Eibach Sportline lowering springs, Whiteline anti lift kit (which I'm sure is the cause of the castor being out and will have a look at these) and I had front and rear Eibach anti roll bars fitted. The alignment centre said they couldn't adjust it and that it would prob need replacement parts to correct it. Any ideas what it could be?

Might be because the subframe was removed to fit front antiroll bar, and not tightened up in same place

Had a feeling this may be the case. The whole point of getting the alignment done was because the subframe had been off, but the alignment centre said they couldn't adjust the front camber.

Might be better going to someone specialising in vw
