Adjusting camber at front wheels

Special tools and workshop equipment required

• Torque wrench - V.A.G 1332-

• Remove noise insulation.

• Remove bolts -1- to -4- for the subframe on the body.

The camber adjustment range is limited by the tolerances of the holes in the subframe. If the specified value is not reached by shifting the subframe, this and the body must be inspected ⇒ 1.1 Checklist for evaluating running gear on accident vehicles.

• Now camber may be adjusted to specification by moving subframe.
• Tighten new bolts for subframe to body to specified torque plus extra turn angle.

After shifting the subframe, check the clearance between the steering column universal joint and the cut-out in the bulkhead.

• Fold floor covering back slightly.

There must be a clearance of 5 mm all around between universal joint -1- and aperture in plenum chamber bulkhead -2-.
