I'd say yes. What you sacrifice is the possiblity of tire rub, which is not normally too important. > Right now camber is about 2 degrees positive. In retrospect I think I'd > rather my camber was a little on the negative side. It's supposed to be 1 deg 20 minutes positive +/- 20 minutes. You're pretty close. If you can only get it down to 2 deg, it's possible that the lower trailing arm has been bent. Is it this way on both sides? If the car has been lowered then all bets are off and you're on your own. If you went with negative camber then you'd need toe-out rather than toe in. Make sure you understand the interplay between these 2 parameters before you try to change them randomly. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
