Wtf happened to my front wheels!!!

[Reptar210]

Take it to a shop. No really.

I know I Can't go far with te wheels all out. And I'm having a hard time raising the rears to be able to drive

[Reptar210]

Think it old be the subframe or the control arms?

How are you having issues?

Jack up the rear. (Use jack stands unless you have a death wish)
Get under the car.
Spin the collars.
Lower jack.
Done.

Why would it be either if the wheel was not like that before? Use logical thinking. Positive camber came after the Ultimos and ball joints, therefore one of the two has to be the issue.

Go grab your old ball joint and swap it in. See if that makes a difference.

Ant you so smart.

[Reptar210]

Read what I have been saying silly, it WAS like that before, but with 15x6.5 you not notice it as much Asa 18x9

How did the bushing and bearing looking when you installed the coils? Regardless, YES that bushing is destroyed, replace the strut bushing and bearing!

And does this look fuhkkked up?

Bearings are brand new, would vw have them

Get under your car and see if your subframe is shifted one way or another. I doubt it would cause that much of an issue though. Has the car ever been in an accident?

You may as well post how you installed them as well.

But both sides are like this, and the guy I got it from said no, it's a salvaged title from axle coming off

[Reptar210]

Spun to the top. Threads re t the bottom, rears are pretty self explanatory

[euro+tuner]

Bushing also?

In the top picture the opening for the strut looks off center in the bushing I quoted. Just curious if he reused the bushing from his previous suspension.

Hasssss to be ball joints haha

But before I changed them it had te same problem

[Chris Anderson]

so you bought the car with positive camber?

[Reptar210]

Not very noticeable with the 15x6.5s, when I put my long watches on you can notice it but not as ad as the 18x9s

Long beaches not watches hahh

[Chris Anderson]

so we know its not the ultimo struts or ball joints since it happened on stock suspension and before you replaced the ball joints...

Exactly why I'm thinking it's the sub frame, lower control arms or the tie rods somehow... Maybe even then hub???? Where the strut goes in

[oakdub]

And this Is how I have it assembled it.

[Reptar210]

Did you find the missing link lol

[jefevw'00]

i could be wrong but are axles different lengths between engine codes? as in 2.0 to 1.8? if so maybe the wrong length axle was used? i actually read

[GTIDamien_407]

FYI #8 is the gold cone. Dont use the OEM as well.

If that doesnt fix your camber, losen the three ball joint bolts and pull the bottom of the wheel out while tightening the bolts.

Looks like someone smashed your car into a curb previously, mine was exactly like that when i bought it. Your hub/spindle is bent.

Done already
