Mk2 Pre FL TDI RS-

Guy said there is no adjustment left on the rear camber and i've lowered it on Eibach Pro Kit so it's not much lower but now I'm on my second set of tyres in a 4 months since lowering it where there is wire on the inside edge and the outer still looks new!

I've tried looking for the Rear Camber Shim's but can't find a kit for the mk2 and i have Goodyear EfficientGrip and at £80 a corner this is becoming and expensive problem!! Any help would be greatly appreciated

Ouch doesn't sound good. I take its being done on a Hunter system?

i use to work for Kwik Fit many moons ago and my mate still works there and fitted my tyres out and well tried to sort my alignment out lol ::( I'm tempted to take it elsewhere in case there was a mistake in the rear camber adjustment as my mate was following me and said your tyre was sparking while going round the roundabout and when i checked the wire was hanging out! but the outside still looks new, this was the case with the other rear side too when i changed them first time so really need to get it sorted as i do a lot of miles and have two kids! i've had to park it up till i find a solution before wasting more money on tyres :( 

Kwik Fit have the kit (and expertise) to measure and adjust all that is necessary on the rear of an Octavia? I doubt it. Take your car to a specialist with the Hunter kit.

Is the rear beam still straight?

ditto. I had the same problem had it aligned on a Hunter  4 wheel tracker which  sorted it out,

@Toxicfrog i've just checked and it has a dent in the passenger rear arm, going to get that changed today! Is it a nightmare job? I rang my local motor factors and they said £45 for the arm.

Rear arms are normally relatively easy, I'd advise you check the damper bushes and rear mounting bushes too for wear and play, replace as nessecary

Dont forget to replace in pairs...sounds like its time for a refurb.hope you get it sorted,nothing like going through rubber without having fun.

 

Merry Christmas!

What camber & toe readings are they getting?
