| Re: Can I Manually Adjust The Chamber Of The Rear Wheels To Avoided Excess Tyre Ware your not supposed to be able to because the stub axles are fixed.... but a trick i learned rallying was to unbolt the stub axles and stick shims under one side to increase the camber.... i dont recommend it tho on a road car.. leave it well alone |

| Re: Can I Manually Adjust The Chamber Of The Rear Wheels To Avoided Excess Tyre Ware Micheldever tyres adjusted mine ok.  There are revised figures from Skoda regarding tyre wear. 1.25 degrees as opposed to 1.45 degrees. |
