Great video, need to do this on my VW golf mk5, tyres starting to bald on the inner tread, I know it's the toe and camber bolts that have failed. So new one's on both sides and some reference to your video will do the job for me. Thanks! 👍
I'm not sure this method is very accurate. Not all vehicles have 0 deg camber. Most actually have 1-2deg negative offset in the back. Setting it this way does not guarantee that it is actually at 0 and will affect the behavior of the car. Also, rear camber and especially toe have a huuuuge effect on vehicle pull. In my opinion, the best way to do this is to just get a 4 wheel alignment. Shortcuts don't quite work well.
Audi VW rear camber can change with ride height too, there is even a difference with empty / full fuel load. I would definitely go to a garage with 4 wheel alignment equipment, you’ll probably save your expense in reduced tyre wear and even improved fuel economy.
Im sure it’ll go unheard, but is this method applicable to the 00-05 4motion systems? Im assuming so as the Quattros are the same drive systems? I have an 04 with bad rear camber
I use a digital guage, and the measurement should be taken either centered at the hub if it's flat, or across the wheel edges using a straightedge with the guage centered over the hub. Any measurements taken on the rotor will be inaccurate, as the rotor face is not the equidistant center of wheel rotation. Measuring from the top, bottom, front or rear of the rotor will give three different inaccurate measurements.
where did you get the angle checking tool that attaches to the rotor as quattro needs a -1 degree offset or the outside of tire will wear down faster than the inside at 0 degrees that tool looks excellent as you take a reading "before" raising the wheel then adjust the wheel by the amount required after you jack it up , most alloys allow you to attach to rotor with wheel still on any info on the magnetic camber angle spirit level would be great
I use a Giant Viking digital angle guage or a Japanese app I found online. The most accurate measurement is going to be by using a straightedge across your wheel edges with the guage placed on the straightedge centered over the hub. Measuring at the rotor will give inaccurate measurements. I have an '08 A4 Quattro S-Line, and adjust my rear camber to -2 degrees.
Camber doesn't affect wear unless it's really excessive, toe causes wear as the wheel is literally being scrubbed as its not pounting exactly forward. Camber allows for maximum grip whilst the car is leaned over during cornering
If the tires are on the ground when I adjust the camber, the tires will have to scrub against the floor when I pull in the camber. I was thinking of placing coasters under the tires so they could move in/out. Ideas welcome.
I’ve heard some people put grease on the floor. Others put cookie sheets on the floor under the wheel. One method I found interesting was to take two pieces of floor linoleum squares and put salt between the two squares the salt would act as a kind of bearing to allow the tire to flow into position.
This would also affect results at the pro garage I think that the sidewalls are flexible enough to allow for WHEEL alignment, then the tires will follow when the vehicle rolls
En el suelo marca el calibrador magnético -1/2° negativo, levantado o alzado marca el calibrador +1/2° grado positivo ,poner el calibrador en el disco de freno aflojo pernos amortiguador Macpherson, ubico la burbuja en +1 1/2° uno y medio grado positivo y pongo la llanta ,rueda, o neumático en el piso y marca 0° cero grados es lo que yo quería todo esto se hace parte delantera del automóvil 🚗
Existe la posibilidad de hacer un vídeo con calibrador magnético camber caster de un automóvil que tenga suspensión tipo Macpherson medir en el piso con el calibrador, levantado con el jack o gato hidráulico medir ,y colocar el calibrador magnético en disco de freno o disc Brake aflojando los pernos del amortiguador ubico la burbuja del calibrador magnético. Para que me de los grados necesarios para que este en el piso el auto llege a la inclinación deseada
I double check the video to make sure we are adjusting rear camber. The video is how to adjust rear camber. All of the shots are in the back of the car except for the very beginning shot where I remove the front wheel. In the shot you can clearly see the steering components. All of the camber adjustments are in the rear
Typically the rear wheels are aligned straight. The tow in is in the front wheels. That way when you’re driving down the road the car will not veer left and right.
@@livefree6878 the rear toe on audi is definitely adjustable and recommend to be done if replacing any components. It's not a diy job though if you want any accuracy

Eureka!!! Thank you!!!!!!! Saved me over 300 bucks!!!!
Good video - taking mine to a shop that does this.....I'll just make a mess of it.
Does thos work for a vw polo 1.9tdi also

@@user-cg8cp2yl9n if ride height is that sensitive to weight, then getting the car on a lift will be a big improvement.
Disculpe uds nombran puntera a los amortiguadores
Try on 2010 Passat adyast rear camber.
Good luck

Esta bien el procedimiento amigo gracias saludos desde Lima PERÚ
I just need knowledgeable car mechanics come to my country and saved us all car owners here.

Any measurements taken on the rotor will be inaccurate, as the rotor face is not the equidistant center of wheel rotation.

dumb. that's only relative to itself.
Do other bolts have to be loosened before the camber bolts will move? Thanks
No
Thanks bro, I needed that
yeah i'd like to see you do that on a vw new beetle
Octavia mk2 would be the same I presume
where did you get the angle checking tool that attaches to the rotor as quattro needs a -1 degree offset or the outside of tire will wear down faster than the inside at 0 degrees that tool looks excellent as you take a reading "before" raising the wheel then adjust the wheel by the amount required after you jack it up , most alloys allow you to attach to rotor with wheel still on any info on the magnetic camber angle spirit level would be great
You can get them on eBay, just got one as my quattro is wearing the outside edge of the tyre.

Measuring at the rotor will give inaccurate measurements. I have an '08 A4 Quattro S-Line, and adjust my rear camber to -2 degrees.
Also check your toe settings, and set them AFTER your camber. Changing camber alters toe, and toe wears your edges more/faster than camber.

@@Dtp2296 can toe be adjusted at the rear. I have wear on the inside edge of one side at the rear
Good job
Are the fronts that easy?
ok how do you lock the cam again and do you know if it’s for audi a6 supercharged 2015
Thanks for sharing

two carrier bags with cooking oil between works
This would also affect results at the pro garage

awesome thanks

How do you adjust the camber on a 2008 trailblazer
Great
👍
How could I rectify negative camba on 2000 rav4
Good video, but good grief that’s a lot of play in the adjusting cam. I realize that with the weight of the car it will take the slop out, but still..
So this is the rear is it….???????
Post says rear camber. Do you have video of REAR?

If you can't tell the difference between the front and rear of a car I'd suggest you don't attempt this!
@@livefree6878 The rears have two camber bolts on each side, both top and bottom, 4 bolts in total :)
Now how to adjust toe on rear tire
Typically the rear wheels are aligned straight. The tow in is in the front wheels. That way when you’re driving down the road the car will not veer left and right.
@@livefree6878 the rear toe on audi is definitely adjustable and recommend to be done if replacing any components. It's not a diy job though if you want any accuracy
What a negative spin on that!
Camber should never be 0
Wtf is mean camber?Spuneti corect unghi de cadere, amerikansky...
yeah yeah yeah it's no different than lining up a steering wheel, just count revolutions from either end ya dope(s)
