Bumcheeks :(

I have worked out that my rear passangers wheels sits about 3mm further in than the rear drivers

Asking around it seems the mk4 golf family are known for it

:( arse..... How annoying

Now...... I wonder who my nearest option is to sort it ????

Stop ****ing about!

If it drives ok leave it alone. Nothing is perfect!

Lol

How rude lol

Spoke to Gee plus nosed about in the mk4 homes

It really does seem its all things thats mk4,

Its easy adjusted it seems but needs to be aligned after to make sure all is straight

But at least i know why i can get my fingers in one arch and not the other

Nothing is perfect!

Wooooot ........ It must lol

Gee just texted me and he had to adjust his octy and when he had the bora

I think you need to make yourself an alignment rig ...

I'll see if someone can post Gee to brizzle lol

He said its easy , just need a ramp

Have you measured hub to hub yet? Some cars can be 5cm different each side lol

Na mate i just went from my rims lol

I was thinking just 1 spacer but Gee then said about this adjustment ????

Just got to find so eone near me that can do it now :(

post me... lol thats gonna be a big box!

I did a 4 wheel alingnment on mine a few weeks back and had to loosen my rear beam off car and knock it about to line rear toe and camber up.

I had to push one side forward and other side back to line it up right, then it was onto front to adjust front end

^^^^^^ exactly that. my bora was the worst. octy was only about 1.8mm out.

Its about 3 mm i reken

post me... lol thats gonna be a big box!

I'm sure you could supply that box Gee lol.

Out of curiosity (and sorry for thread jacking Loyd) but wold this cause the car to track differently IE pull to the left??

If rear axle isnt lined up perfect then yeah, when do a 4 wheel alingment you always line the rear end up first no matter what car it is

Man for as long as I have had the car it pulls to the left - been to 4 places for tracking and every time (if they mentioned it) its "nothing we can do"..... :(

Ooooo i have a slight pull to the left :p

have you thought about changing careers ?

train up as a wheel alignment technician ?

you known you love playing with wheels

Cars would defo leave perfect as it seems even 3mm out bugs me lol

It's an easy fix. Sledgehammer on the beam 'leg' to push the wheel out. Sorted!!

You can loosen the four bolts that hold the mounting brackket to the body and move it about a bit if it's not mounted straight, but if the beam is slightly bent (Easy done on a MK4 - Kerbing it etc), this won't help as the toe would be slightly wrong. This is where the hammer come in lol.

A hammer the best way to fix something lol

Im guessing all this can be sorted and sdjusted when its being aligned ?

If im having that beam fiddled with is there bushes that would be worth uprating seeing its unbolted ?
