ive gone for a bit of camber on the rocco so i can drop the back a bit more. it seems to feel different to drive now tho. seems more twtchy. has anyone else noticed a change?

backend came out a bit easier on my golf when i cambered it and it felt a bit more twitchy. Did you do it properly so there is no toe in?

tread hijack,

mark have you got the 16 m10 head washers for a bug that i can borrow for the weekend.

Trouble with camber shims is that as you go lower the toe-in changes, so your wheels are no longer straight, i know others with twitchy back ends but theres not much you can do other than run it at stock height...... me thinks not lol..

ok cool you about either after 10pm today or tomo of before 9am on sat lol

Subject: Re: camber Thu Jun 19, 2008 1:53 pm

mark, you can correct the toe in by running a thicker washer on the bolt closest to the front and a thinner washer on the bolt closest to the back, ie bringing the frontside of the stub axle into line. Do you know what i mean? If not i can pop round and give you a hand if you want.
