camber wear wen lowered

[BL33SU]

how do u's with lowered dubs fix it? my inner sides of the tyres are wearing out fast!
all 4 tyres!

Camber kits? Basically just a bolt with some hinges in it that allows you to set the camber closer to neutral.

[BL33SU]

who sells them?

[rayray086]

I remember Pedro buying a pair for the front for his Mk3 at Whiteline's headquarters (Minto I think).

Why can't you just get a wheel alignment? Camber is adjustable.

[BL33SU]

searched the forums and found passat camber is not adjustable. need some kind of kit. damn sounds expensive.

[peedman]

$72 from whiteline, go give em a call. Can also get noltecs too but ~$90 i think, then get a wheel alignment after and ur good.

There not that expensive? though neg camber looks sickness i have neg2 on mine and its wearing faster on the inside but handles soooo much better! . . .

[rayray086]

The kit is merely a modified bolt! So I guess for what you're holding in your hand, it's pretty expensive., though will definitely be cheaper in the long run.

I find it hard to believe that the camber is not adjustable. I've heard that myth about Golfs also.

They say the rears are fixed beams, so they cannot be adjusted Mk3 that is, dunno about the other generations

Correct.

Correct.

I have some mates that have used shims to generate negative camber on the rear of MK1s 2s and 3s.

I have had VWs running large amounts of -ve camber and not run into wear issues as long as the tracking is set correctly.

Have the Passat aligned and go from there.

I don't know people doing it, but I've heard about it before...





By the way Gavin, what do you mean by the "tracking" set correctly?

[BL33SU]

i have heard of normal and sports? is there really such thing?
