Mo-S3 Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Give them a ring and see what they say. Might be able to do some adjustment if it needs it. You do know that there is no camber adjustment possibe on the rear unless adjustable tiebars have been fitted which you wont have as you dont have lowered suspension. The front camber is very easy to do anyway; 3 nuts on the lower arm allows the suspension a few degrees of camber adjusment. They will easily be able to adjust the toe angle(also known as the thrust angle) on the front. The rear however is more of a pain to do but can be done. Do you know if they completey removed the rear trailing arm when the spring was replaced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kp090 Posted July 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 i have no idea mate, all i know is that they gave me a bit of the coil which snapped off and said the whole spring needs to be replaced. so i got the springs and they replaced it. all i know is that wen i took it ages ago before the springs were replaced for alignment the people had a hunter machine and said camber angles cant be done as they aint got equipment for it so need to go to audi to get it done. and while driving the car it doesnt seem like secure driving fast on anormal road. motorway seems a bit more secure but still risky when you go proepr fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
