Hey guys,

I went to get an alignment the other day and the shop couldn't adjust the rear because they claimed the bolts were all rusted out. Does anybody know what bolts these are so I can replace them and get my rear alignment adjusted?

I've worked on rusted parts...they should be able to break them loose with a torch, then lube them up. Try another shop. I think only the top arm is adjustable, should be easy to see.

Is there not adjustment points on both the lower and upper control arm?

just got these recently - these were the inner bolts on my rear lower control arms (eccentric/adjustment bolts). Mine were definitely rusted out horribly.

Thanks for the PN. I just verified that it's the correct number for my VIN so I ordered some online too. Got em here https://www.vwpartsprime.com/oem/volkswagen-screw-wht000228.html

Did any of you guys need to replace the lower control arm itself too? Mine is pretty rusted out but the bushings still look ok.

Why did you need the eccentric washer with the bolt? I was under the impression it was only the bolt..
