I will be attempting this tomorrow after work. Does anyone have additional information/hints to add?
My allignment is booked for monday and I want to make sure that I get to the shop without ruining my rear fenders.
Will it be easier with the wheels removed?
I searched golfmkv and got the information below.
tomshouse516:
upper camber arm has an eccentric washer on the frame side mount. you loosen the nut and spin the bolt/washer so that the thin side of the washer faces directly in towards the center of the car. that is max rear camber.
RSMark5:
The shim, you want the narrowest part to face each other. That will give you all the way in. If you don't want as extreme negative camber adjust it. That shim seems to make it bottom the adjustment out sooner. So think of that shim as giving you like 3 positions. The narrow part facing each other is all the way in. the fat part facing in is probably around -3*. You still push the adjustment arm all the way in so you know its even, but it does allow for probably around -1* of play.
CW.GTI :
The shim and bolt have a tendancy to shift when your loosening and pushing the arm in. You do have to make sure they are facing each other in the same pattern, not opposite. Otherwise the camber won't be exactly even.

Basically In the highlighted area, loosen #12 then adjust by using #10
What about the #9 asymmetric washer?
ps. I have two jack stands and a floor jack that I will be using.
edit: I'll be doing this with a buddy who just PM'd me.
