not familiar with passat set up.

do passats have bottom ball balljoints joining the wishbone and hub? if so, did you make lossen this and did you make sure that it was tightened in the same position?

basically got to get camber and tracking done on a machine or your gonna ruin a set of tyres in about 1000 miles if not earlier. it's not something you can do by eye,
adjusting the camber affects your tracking aswell so they'll both be out.
