Air-cooled VW Super Beetle alignment


I just remembered that the wheel alignment on air-cooled 11AD VW Super Beetle has not been checked for a long time since the rear torsion bar bushes had been replaced, they changes their form relatively easily leading to causing alignment discrepancy at all. So, following to SXE10 TOYOTA Altezza, wheel alignment check and correction on 11AD were performed yesterday, holiday as Autumn Equinox.
I make it a rule not to go outside on any National holidays, because the roads are crowded everywhere and holiday drivers does in some rough and aggressive manners scattering discomforts and inconveniences.

Though I thought it might take time to do that at the beginning because of the suspension construction that has no way to adjust the thrust angle except inserting the adjusting sims, the first trial could have carried out the destination. Just adjusting the left rear wheel base could solved all the problems, also one notch left turn on the steering wheel spline groove could have attained the centric position firmly. LASER pointer level device is useful for the adjustment to correct the horizontal errors. Periodical checking on the wheel alignment and suspension geometric construction is indispensable to keep the vehicle in the best condition with comfortable ride.
