Hi all

Went to kwikfit yesterday with my vrs  to have a new tyre fitted and they pointed out that the rear passengerside wheel is in negative camber by a long way.

can anyone tell me how to adjust the rear camber i know i wont be able to get it spot on but it does look a long way out.

many thanks in advance.

It's not adjustable as such. It's possible the rear beam is bent from hitting a kerb at some point or from the car being jacked on the beam.

You can get camber shims which will allow you to adjust to some extent.

It is an ex police car so it proberley has had a bump or two where do the shims go.

You have to remove the hubs and they go under there.

Hi, i seem to have the exact same problem. My skoda dealer has informed me that the rear axle beam is bent but he said it doesnt need replacement just yet as the difference in camber to the allowed limit is just 1 deg. I've just shod the car with Yokohama dBs so i am worried that the inner edges might wear out sooner than usual. When i look at the car, the rear tyres look slant ( In at the top and out at the bottom) compared to the fronts. I've seen some other cars and all look similar, some even worse. Now, my doubt is if this really is a  problem and if it is, is the axle beam replacement the only way or can i try fiddling with the shims? Please help. I am attaching a couple of pics that i just took and if needed i can take some pics during the day tomorrow and post them. Thank you
