Hi, I recently completed a set of spring changes for the front suspension, so thought I'd pop down to Kwik fit to get it all checked for alignment. Prob not a good move in retrospect but needed it sorted asap and only place I could get in.
Anyway, they did the measurements. Here is the before and after...

... whilst a number of the issues are improved, both right front and right rear camber are worse than originally. The guys said that they can't adjust the camber on the front as needs a special tool. They also said that they couldn't adjust the right rear camber as the bolt was seized in the sleeve, which in turn sits in a rubber mount within the arm itself.. although according to the measurements it has changed...
Looking at videos online (for Q7 admittedly), the rear adjustment is done on the inboard part of the arm, using an eccentric nut -arrangement and no rubber sleeve/bush seems apparent, whereas the outboard part of the arm does appear to join with a sleeve/rubber bush arrangement.
Does this all sound fair enough to you? I have to confess I don't know enough at this stage to make a sensible judgement as currently unfamiliar.. Will do more research, but welcome your thoughts given I've just shelled out £120 for a fairly quick job and if I want to go back I need to do so soon! Thanks.
