The rear suspension on a 5ktq/200q is different than on the 4kq/Ur-Q/CQ ...
camber is adjusted by a lateral link located *above* the hub center and NOT
a balljoint located *below* it.  When you adjust camber, you're primarily
moving the top the wheel and not the bottom...

Since Audis have German origins, it must be Wurth brand...  :^)
