Just snip the correct tabs out of the shims and you'll be good

[dylan8]

In the mk4 the shims only work with a car at x height, too much lowering past that = excess toe in, too much above the height and too much toe out.
I'd imagine it would be similar on a mk3 based on the rear beam design. Not sure if it rolls as much as the mk4 tho...

Yeah, well basically the chart in the instructions for the mk3 came to an end if you wanted maximum camber and minimum toe-in.

I'm yet to try it, but if you jack the rear beam up and simply rotate the shim so that it's set at the desired setting and cut out the bolt holes instead of following the instructions it "should" work.

[Surfpig]

Solution: well to prove the theory correct, raise the car and or pull out the camber. If this fixes it, then it's probably as described above. Permament solution is to mill down the end of the DS (by about 5 mm, also push the CV 5mm back, and the circlip groove as well) and then run as low and cambered as it.

my question is, how?

[Jarred]

could you be more specific?

[Surfpig]

I just dont really understand how milling down the end of the drive shaft is a good idea? Has someone done this before?

[Jarred]

Very common on mk 1's. Not so common on mk 3's (cause not many people are really THAT low)

Pull the camber and/or raise it a bit first, that may solve it.
