Right here goes looking at the motor today and front wheels seem to be slighty angled??? Also it seems to be wearing tyres on the outside edge quickly. Is there any way to have the camber angles checked? Its as if the bottom of wheel is inwards and top outwards... any help will be appreciated

There is adjustment on the balljoints on wishbones to hubs. 3 bolts each side.

If you undo them and pull hub outwards you will change chamber so top of wheel will point inwards. Mine are very noticeable

I don't think you get the same amount of adjustment on a standard VRS front wishbone/hub/ball joint. You have the TT set up Mark where the cast wishbone ball joint mounting holes are slotted. Thus enabling max 1.5 degree camber adjustment. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Your tyre wear is indicative of "toe-in" ie:  the front wheels are angled inwards at the front. Wear on the inside edge of the tyre usually means to much "toe-out". Apart from suspension wear, this is the usual effect of tracking being out. (can be caused by wacking the kerb, or hitting a pothole at speed). One or both wheels can show the same wear pattern, get the tracking checked (making sure the steering wheel spoke is horizontal when straight ahead), also find a quiet stretch of road and see if it pulls to one side.

 

Before I fitted new lower wishbones i checked the camber angles on both sides (flat garage floor), with a camber gauge. Both sides were - 1/2 degree (taken at top of brake disc with roadwheel on and car on the ground ).

 

The new wishbones (with balljoints), when fitted, gave the same reading (checked the same way).

Agree Pete, you don't get no where near same as on cast wishbones, but my point was you can still adjust it on the std wishbones

That's also true....

 

best bet is OP get full laser alignment to be sure.

 

Funny as for my set up, when I take mine to Tyre garage (only use Pro Tyres now) I first said track and align mine as per a Audi TT 2WD.

 

They looked at me as if I had 2 heads...lol

 

Now they are used to it.

I have adjusted the camber for max negative position for better grip in the corners /  \  ,just like a racing car

Yeah man,,,,,,,me too.

 

That is almost what you will get if you ask for Audi TT 2WD alignment as on our cars it will place your wishbone ball joint as far out as almost possible  

I was surprised,I can go much harder on roundabouts and car feels quicker,and suspension is 100% stock

I think I may have to try that out
