[Vwdiesel] [VW-TDI] Alignment Specifications for 96 Passat TDI

[James Hansen]

Well that's silly.  They all have rear brakes. 
You're SUPPOSED to shim the rear stub axle to get the rears aligned if you
have one out of spec. It's not like that's some heroic last ditch effort
that requires a special liability disclaimer, that's just what is done.
I'll PM the specs Val, it requires an attachment... too much typing
