Hi was servicing the car yesterday and discovered that on the rear I'm scrubbing the inside of both rear tyre's. I've lowered the car a small amount as still on standard wheels with 225/45/17 so my question is does anyone know if by using rear camber shims how far I need to go to get the wheels at the correct camber that they run true and wont scrub many thanks

 

Wouldn't an alignment check give you better more accurate info?

It's been done and the camber is non adjustable on the beam

I know but it may give you an idea how much adjustment you need. One things for sure is that we can't really tell from here.

Isn't it quite common for octavias/golfs to scrub the inside rear? possibly underinflation, possibly rotate fronts to rear assuming wear isn't ridiculous. I'm sure a google will reveal a lot

Plus they're 225. Mine don't scrub there I must admit but if the rears are going to scrub anywhere it will be there usually.

A -1 degree camber shim will kick the top of the ture in approx 5-8mm ish

But when adding a camber shim u need to correct to with toe shims

The caliper needs alligning with washers also

Lloyd is that the esc beam relocation plates or something different all together? Plus who sells the shims?

Keep yourself open for new rear bearings, as its pulled to fit them

I got it all spot on and then popped new bearing on to finish

-1 degree shim

Total camber -2

Toe corrected to 1.5 each side

Ah ok cool. Yeah already have to genuine items so covered there.
