Front


Front axle camber, adjusting

Special tools and equipment
^ VAG 1332 Torque wrench
The camber cannot be adjusted!
If a value lies outside the tolerances, the vehicle's transverse inclination must be checked and compensated.
Only by moving the subframe is it possible to adjust the camber evenly within the tolerance range.





- Loosen bolts -1- and -2-.
- Move subframe until the camber on both sides is equal.
- Then check the caster angle afterward.
The caster angle can change when the subframe is moved!
- Secure the subframe with new bolts.
