Audi Suspension Photos...

Those came through fine.  Did that crack result in your camber being  off.  
My alignment shop tried moving the sub frame, I watched and it did  not 
improve much.  They will not shim the wheel bearings.  There  solution (which 
makes some sense), is for to spend $50-100 to have there body  shop measure 
the front end and pinpoint the problem.
 
I did have an interment small shimmy that would come and go at  60-75mph.  
Replace tie rod end and 80% went away, had the toe set and car  drives fine. 
 Front end feels great when driving.  The only time I  have heard any 
squeaking is after I have jacked the car up to change oil.   It may squeak for a 
few moments after the car is back on the ground.   Squeak goes away after 
drive a few blocks, I presume it was the suspension just  seating itself after 
the car was lifted.
 
My big concern is that I do not spend a ton of $$ where a simple fix is all 
 that is needed.
 
My camber before adjust was L=-.08, R=-2.3 after alignment I have L=-.08  
and R=-2.2
 
That leaves the left in spec and there right off by -.8 degrees according  
to there chart.  I do not know if I should even worry about that number is  
enough to be concerned about.
 
Thanks for your help the photos may help pinpoint the issue.
 
Thanks again, Pete

Peter, The first photo is what Alldatapro refers to as a "Carrier"
 
The following 3 photos are of the "line-drawings" that did not show up in  
earlier E/Mail to the 20V List.
 
Note: 1st & 3rd line drawings are identical.
 
Loosen all bolts for the Subframe & the Carrier, Pry on he Carrier  first & 
lock down 1 of the forward bolts, then pry on the front of the  Subframe 
and lock down the forward Subframe bolt (this bolt also goes through  the 
Carrier, then pry on the rear of the Subframe and lock down all remaining  bolts.
 
this will shift the camber over as far as possible.
 
if less is needed, back it off some.
 
Good Luck,  Randy
