After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before.

  • Best wheel alignment in Melbourne

    Hi guys,

    I'm just wondering what experiences you have had with wheel alignments.
    Where the best places are to have a wheel alignment in Melbourne and what stores to stay away from? (Costs will also be helpful)

    Just a quick question, are all front wheel drive Mk4 golfs only front wheel adjustable? Meaning only a two wheel alignment needed?

    Thanks

    Front has toe adjustment and the slightest amount of camber adjustment (say like .05 deg).

    Rear has some give with the bolts - can be used to equal toe a bit or move the beam left/right. You cannot change rear toe individually. Cannot change rear camber. (refer to camber shims, can be used to fix toe upon lowering an MK4)

    Some good info:

        If you are not having excessive toe or camber wear on the rear I wouldnt bother touching it.

        front is next to no camber adjustment. just toe to correct really

          Given the lack of adjustment on these cars a specialist is not really warranted.
          Unless you are seriously low or have some specific settings in mind, Kmart is pretty cheap.
          MK4 GTI - Sold
          MK5 Jetta Turbo - Sold
          MK5 Jetta 2.Slow - Until it dies.
