Geometry & Alignment

The strut upper mout position on VW 1302 Super Beetle was adjusted laterally inside with round filing procedure because the upper mount bolt hales were positioned too much outside. With the repositioning of upper mount 3,5mm inside in the right strut tower compensated 5 minutes camber inclination then now camber value is almost zero, lacks 10 minutes negative inclination. Next step would be lower arm hinge bush position adjustment toward outside, body bracket hole longer shape to outside 3mm and bush inner lace inner side 2 mm, under calculation 5mm adjust ment in total would attain 10 minutes nagative camber construction. Additionally the hub positions on both side would be slightly adjusted by repositioning the knuckles.

Though the purpose of applying negative camber setting, making strut mount position inside and making the lower arm hinge bush position outside have different meaning each other. The hub lateral position differs if the same negative inclinations were applied. Naturally the change of hub position causes the change of thrust angle of rear axle construction.

Bear in mind upper fact and truth, becasue they would not a little give influences on geometry and alignment setting that I come across very soon.
