Polo GTI, Rear Toe Out Shim Ajusters.

[Kai]

Both my rear wheel bearings are ****ed.

No idea why. Maybe wear and tear. But i do have the shims unlike 99% of other people.

[shaneth]

wouldnt have to do with the way you drive the thing.

And im no mechanic (obviously) but wouldnt making the wheels run straighter (i guess is the best way to describe it) be a better thing???

pfft, Kai's a grandma

just look at his sig pic....brake lights on at the start of the drag strip! (yes i know they are actually the tail lights, because the rear window brake light is not on)

[Eddy]

Hoyhoy.

Shane, I have to say a big thankyou, I could kiss ya but won't...

[shaneth]

My pleasure mate....

[Whubbsie]

OK so my whiteline distributor after hearing about eddy's plight has order 4 sets. This is a one off order and he said he doesnt expect whiteline to make them anymore. (why i dont know). Now of these 4 set 1 is left. So if you are wanting them please contact me as itll be first in first served. They are $110 TNT overnight.

Im not making money on this and will be paying for my own just so nobody thinks im advertising.

Getting them:-

I had an alignment done last week and the total toe in was reduced to
+2.8! Seems like a success

Mate i might let you have my set. As i have that many things on the go for my car and need the cash...... Ill get a price of shipping to UK as this was a one off batch apparently.

But i do agree that id be up there in the most thrashed area..

[seangti]

so to raise an old thread. The people that have tried these, how's it all going? Is it worth doing? All thoughts are welcome.

When Eddy started the thread, he mentioned having experienced considerable rear tyre wear when tracking the car. Now that I've done a few, I haven't experienced this, it seems to be quite consistent, marginally more on the front which is understandable.

I think its good, its a nice to have rather than a need to have.

Not really worth spending your money on this unless you have done a few other bits.

The toe is there to make the car more stable, I prefer the car to track well at speed and when digging into corners, IMO you'd be better off saving for some good suspension or sways if you have not done these yet.
