The camber cannot be adjusted.
By moving the subframe, however, it is possible to centre the camber evenly within the specified tolerance range.
Remove noise insulation tray.
Unscrew all 4 bolts (-1- and -2-).
Use a plastic-coated tyre lever to push the subframe into the appropriate position.
Push in the centre of the subframe, between the subframe itself and the longitudinal member of the body.
If you do not have a plastic-coated tyre lever, use a standard tyre lever with adhesive tape wrapped around it.
Important:
Do not damage any components.
Tighten both rear subframe bolts.
Tighten one front subframe bolt.
At least three bolts must always remain tightened so that the position of the subframe is maintained during the procedure.

Checking of the toe-in is required after every corrective camber adjustment.
Bouncing vehicles with standard running gear
Insert spacer gauge -V.A.G 1925- with adapters -V.A.G 1925/2- and screw both threaded spindles out until...
...they rest against the front sub-frame bolts -1-.
For standard running gear,
the wheel alignment software now checks whether the current toe-in value is according to the required setting.
If necessary, the toe-in must be corrected by adjusting the track rod length.

Who makes these pages, and how
TorqFix was built by a mechanic — after a 2,700 km drive with five roadside repairs that no diagnostic tool could explain.
The figures on this page come from manufacturer workshop documentation and are shown as they are. The page is assembled automatically from that data — it is not written by an AI. The AI works in the chat, where it answers for your specific car. It writes nothing here.
Variants of the same model differ. Cross-check torque against the factory manual for your engine before final tightening.
