Hi

Just a side note on the additional camber adjusting screws.

I had some 2 bolt struts made up locally with smaller springs etc for my daily 1303. On standard VW struts there is a provision made for the top bolt to be made into camber screws, you need to file out strut to allow the movement, the ears are already there for the offset washers on the camber bolt, I was able to use both adjustments to slightly narrow my track, made the inner lower control arm adjustment go to full negative and then wound the screw on the strut to give me correct camber back again.

Can I also say that apart from the benefits that the 2 bolt struts have, 944 stubs can be used and negative roll radius, which may have been negated with different offset wheels anyhow, I don't like 2 bolt struts.

My reasons, cant go as low without tierod arms fouling body (and bending) and flip it kit wont improve this and the steering drag link nut hits on the lower control arms in some situations, and my car is not stupidly low.

Steve
