    Did you guys try to bring it to a shop and let them do the alignment? Coz this problem is not do it yourself, you know.

    lol...im a audi tech, i think i can do an aligment no problem, we also have the mb tech here too, and they helped with the bolt instalation, but it was only a +.5 help, i need 2 more, bc the tire are getting cupped on the inside due to the negative camber

    its all good, of someone like speedybenz has not yet figured it out, you think i would, as far as i know and the rest of the MB tech, you can not adjust anymore camber on a 202 then the bolts, so yea, i know about camber, im looking for something else to get better results, if there was a way to correct as much camber as i need, i would not post here, being a Audi tech does not mean i know entire geometry of a 202, or an Audi

    cupping is typically due to shocks. Neg. camber causes inner edge wear.

    maybe you're thinking of feathering from toe.

    But what do I know. You are "a" audi tech. I am not "an" tech.

    That's cool. That's one saying that I can't trust any tech for any questions.

    You're right, negative camber in the W202 is a problem when lowering, if you come up with an answer you'll own Wall Street

    Camber kit is provided by K-MAC and that's the only solution that I can think off.
    I got K-MAC camber kit on my W202 front and rear.

    this whole topic seems to be so negative? wots up with that?
    how many degrees did the kmac correct in the front of your car jre320?

    heat and bend the lower control arms.

    or over inflate the tires and remount them left-right every 5k. shouldn't be too bad since you're a audi tech and all. I can dismount/remount tires pretty damn quick and i'm not an tech.

    i have a ton of camber on my shit and i fixed it by not giving a fuck.

    wtf is up with everyone giving me shit for being a audi tech, im not god figuring out and fixing all the things manufacturers couldnt fix right the first time, and dont know every single thing that there is about a car

    Is your car lowered? Did you just install the bolts that's why you got only +.5 and still in need of +2? There's a lot of question to your problem. And don't get mad coz we are just wondering why an audi tech ask this question.

    i'm not giving you shit for being a audi tech, just for your grammar.

    and also for not recognizing what type of tire wear relates to what type of alignment/suspension issue.

    that are all i saying on you.

    Maybe you went too low to fix ( there aren't a lot of aftermarket for the 202's suspension) and you'll just have to live with it, that's why I'm not dropping anymore than I have unless I go with an air suspension that I can adjust it when I want.

    Did you get the right bolts? that's what I was thinking that you got the wrong bolts. Maybe?

    i did get the right ones, eccentric, 2 for camber and 2 for caster, and my grammar is bad bc this is my third language

    i can't think of anything else. You have to live with that since your car is lowered.
