Hello Jim,
you didn't mention though what spindles and hubs you use on this setup. If you use the 944 one's and not the std that could cause the problem that you experience. Good luck

Unhappy

Hello again..

My engineer said to me that camber is not possible to adjust it, in my car, because MacPherson struts does not adjust.Is that correct??As i remember the last time it was alligned properly it was when i made the conversion from drums to 944 brakes. I forget to see what spindles and hubs i have,i think they came from 944 but im not sure(were is locate the part number of spindle??Is it possible to see it??Finally, if i decide to change my spindles(if i dont have the corrects) and buy new(vw) or used how much does it cost me for both??I 'll post pics might be help you to the spindle matter..
I AM CONFUSED

Best regards..

The camber is adjusted at the inboard ends of your control arms. There are eccentric bushing/bolts at the inner ends of them. The caster is not as adjustable, you have to use front sway-bar bushings that have offset holes(that the sway-bar sits in). Ifyou have a protractor set the camber at -1 deg. and check the toe in(should be about 1/4 inch in at the front). Or just find a shop that knows somthing about Super(ior) Beetles. The one you went to doesn't seem to know much about Supers.
