Front wheel camber

Post by colincl »

Had a puncture - the tyre was seriously worn on the inside. The other less so. Kwik Fit thought it was the tracking. But it wasnt it was the Camber. They dont do camber adjustment and didnt know anyone who would. The car is a 2017 2.0 TSI R-Line. The car has not suffered damage. Does anyone know if the camber can actually be adjusted and corrected ? Thanks

I would suggest looking for any worn / damaged parts, worn bushes and or top mounts can cause such issues. Although you say the car has not suffered any damage, it may have suffered some sort of damage prior to your ownership. Have a look through previous mot’s to see if there’s any indication there.
Hope this helps

Camber adjustment is only possible by moving the front subframe. Officially that means all the stretch bolts should be replaced, which is a pain. I don't think camber is ultra critical unless it's wildly out. More likely caused by a combination of camber and tracking.
