-3.0* camber too much for daily?

[q74]

Perfect, thanks for the photos. I guess I was tripping balls haha, I'll just use nuts and bolts then!

very curious about the TTS arms on the R. Let us know how it goes!

and or create a shim to trade static camber for dynamic...

Quick question, do you have any pics of how the rear bushes were oriented in your TTRS arms?

dead center with very small voids

Sleep is for the weak. I also noticed you have the BJs mounted beneath the control arm vs above (like it is on the TT), any particular reason?

it is mounted above the control arm and part #4 is inserted through the ball joint mounting plate from above.

iirc the ball of the tt ball joint sits a little lower relative to its mounting plate, but it's been awhile so not sure. I'm thinking they compensated a little to make up the difference between thickness of aluminum lca vs stamped steel GTI LCA.

I made the comment about the shim as I have minimal wheel clearance for part #4 (15" wheels), so flipping part #4 would help with that, or help with some other lca / ball joint mod (for me, normal folks don't run 15" wheels )

What are you looking for here as I can shoot you pics of whatever.


As for the OP's question I run -3* with no unusual side effects. It just took a bunch of massaging to get the chassis to allow that much camber.

I'm musing to myself again, but I pressed in my RS3 bushes only to find out in some market, TT/TTS/TTRS rubber bushes are actually solid vs the mostly solid RS3 bushes. Perhaps different countries have different needs or maybe it's an Audi Sport p/n, who knows.

I'm glad I came across this thread ,but its opened up more questions for which are off topic .
I bought a pair of Hardrace LCA's and they look identical to the original Audi TT 8S arms without any AUDI markings .They have solid rubber bushings .As an options you can get them with Pillow Ball bushings

Mine are rubber but fairly stiff. Most people upgrade to the JBX bushings. I am running the JBX rear trailing arm bushings but haven't done the front LCA yet.

If you are more Track than Street then Verkline is the hot ticket:

Here is a picture of the Verkline subframe with OEM TTRS 8S LCAs.

If I had the new LCA's first I would of got the Verkline subframe ,originally I was going to get the Superpro LCA 's . I did end up with the Verkline rear trailing arms .

Did you install that onto a Golf R/GTI?

I've been talking to him on and off, we were trying to figure out if offset sphericals were possible in the front location for the lower control arm. Powerflex has this camber adjustable bushing, but we couldn't get the sphericals to fit and still have camber adjustment.

Hi bk
I'll be installing them on a Golf R . I've sent an email off to Hardrace asking a few tech question's about their LCA's .
The R's fitted with MCA Suspension coilovers ,wheel arches @10+ mm above the tyres and standed wheel & tyre size in Australia on the R ,19x8 with 235/35r19 .

Thanks man. Reason I ask is because TT balljoints are designed to mount underneath the balljoint, whereas R/S3/GTI/RS3 is above the balljoint. Hardrace pre-installed the balljoints on top, but you can see the cross hashing on the mounting flange that's supposed to bite into the bottom of the arm, instead of the retaining plate.
