Rear Wheel Camber

Post by Steviescottish » Tue Apr 13, 2010 11:23 pm

Hey guys.
Anybody know if it's possible to adjust the rear wheel camber on the B5 RS4?
She has a tendancy to wear the inside edge of the rear tyres prematurely.
I would appreciate any input.

Cheers.

I was looking into this myself! Is yours lowered? I have been trying to look into some adjustable rear tie bars?

camber is adjustable on the bottom outer bolt, toe is also adjustable on the rear of the subframe where the tie bar attatches to it, both work on an elongated slot with a washer that has an offset hole and is attatched to the bolt head. the washer is held between two pegs so as yo rotate the bolt it will move around in the slot. you need to get it properly 4 wheel aligned, back tyres should last 10 k +

My car isn't lowered, in fact, other than the re-map my car is standard.

I will pass this on to my mechanic friend who will make a better job of it than the a**hole at the dealership who says the rear wheels are non-adjustable!!

Thanks Jimbo 1234567.

The camber in the rear, should be around 1.3 to 1.5 negative camber, the ones in the front are not adjustable.

front subframe alignment affects the front wheel camber.

Isn't that just the cross camber though?

Never heard of cross camber, the front wheel camber is adjusted to be equal both sides by re-aligning the subframe, i don't believe the camber can be increased or decreased individually each side.
