alignment

[PeterBergin at aol.com]

Thanks Bernie, called the shop that did the alignment.  They won't do  the 
shimming.  There solution is to measure and pinpoint the issue than  extract 
$$$$ out of me.
 
They did try moving the subfram, some minor improvement.  Car drives  fine 
and tires look good, even though I have only put about 10k miles on it  
since I bought it last February.
 
My spec's from the shop after the alignment on camber are Left -1.2 degrees 
 (spec min -1.4 max -.06) and Right -2.1.
 
I have no idea how big of an issues this is, all control are bushings were  
inspected and looked fine.
 
Hate to spend $$$$$$$ if I don't really need to.  Cars drives  fine.
 
I will have to get on the other forums.
 
Thanks again, Pete

Peter,

Camber: I believe that the ’02 S6 front suspension has the  aluminum  
vertical member with bolt on wheel bearing, as does my ’02  A6 2.7 MT  
w/ Sport package. If so, camber is adjustable by shimming  the wheel  
bearing, BTDT. Before doing so, equalize the camber  between the two  
sides by moving the sub  frame.
