Wheel Camber

There is also Toe in Toe Out. Could even more give you this problem. You should check your car for worn out "stuff" in the forward suspension before you drive to a axle adjusting specialist. I alway loosen all rusty adjustment "things" before i drive to the shop. It's cheaper to get it done.... Greetings from Denmark Michael Golf GTD and VW 1303 (under restauration)

What kind/year car? I think (if I remember correctly) the ball joint Beetle front ends have eccentric ball joints, that allow adjustment for castor & camber. You'll need to take it to a line-up shop to get it done. But...if the tire is wearing badly you probably have worn parts that need replacing. ~ Paul aka "Tha Driver"

Giggle Cream - it makes dessert *funny*!

Beetle and Ghia from '66 have an eccentric bushing. It adjusts camber only; caster is fixed by design. Bent parts or worn ball joints can also be at fault.

Caster can be adjusted by fitting U-shaped "Caster shims" between the axle beams and the bulkhead they attach to. There are different thickness caster shims available. When you lower the car a lot, you are supposed to fit shims under the lower beam. EVEN when you lower the rear too, although it's needed more when you only lower the front and have a distinct "rake"..

Yes; good point, Jan! Jim

Check ALL your suspension components for excess wear, play, torn grease boots, etc. If all seems ok, you need an allignment done. It is possible to adjust the camber yourself, but it's not worth the time over having it done proffesionally. (trust me on that one..... :-P)
