urgent eccentric bushes help needed

[re2]

im just halfway through getting these fitted. There is a triangle marker on the bush and at the moment I have had this set at 6 o’clock as that will then tuck the trailing arm in and reduce the camber. These are not adjustable when fitted as they are a bugger to get in, and at the side where there is most rubber is the worst (im gonna have to get them into place with a press)
I have currently set it up this way as it gives the most camber reduction, and therefore better use of the tyres at the back. i am a little unsure of whether this will cause toe-in or toe-out. ive tried to find out about these, but theres no info anywhere. Where exactly is the triangle supposed to line up with. Im running a 55-60mmm drop at the mo.
Any ideas, tips, feedback?????? will be greatly appreciated as im finishing them on saturday morning

They refer to “Exzentriziaet” which I’m guessing is the eccentric bit – hopefully the same dir as the arrow?

Exzentriziaet nach oben: eccentricity pointing up
sturzveranderung negativ: more negative camber

Exzentriziaet nach unten: eccentricity pointing down
sturzveranderung positiv: more positive camber

Exzentriziaet nach vorn: eccentricity pointing forwards
spurveranderung negativ: more toe-in (positive “track adjustment”)

Exzentriziaet nach hinten: eccentricity pointing backwards
spurveranderung positiv: more toe-out (negative “track adjustment”)

Whilst I’m not sure whether I got the toe-in/out the right way round I think if you’re only after camber adjustment my money would be on eccentricity/arrow down so it sounds like you’re on target []

any chance of a photo of these for the archive before you fit them?

hth,

🙂

jsync has a set in a box, so i can get a pic from there and ill get a pic of them fitted before it all goes back together properly.
Looks like I was right (phew!)I had a little wiggle with the trailing arm first to see what would happen, but was unsure if the camber reduction caused some toe-in/out. It would be a bloody expensive mistake if I got it wrong!
Thanks guys!

will do

Have I understood correctly? So, once you press these excentric bushes in, there is nothing left to do, right? So I can´t adjust camber afterwards?

[Chris S]

Thats it, what you see is what you get!

[hykkyrä]

Great! Well, suddenly I don´t want those bushes anymore. Have to do camber adjustment some other way.

Check with Les as I think someone in Canada has made some camber adapter plates or something similar.

There are adjuster kits being made by two different guys.

One of them is http://www.Dutchdub.com in Holland. I have been following an interesting discussion on his adjusters on VWVortex. http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2849085

The second guy is Todd at http://www.hyperformance.ca/
Todd produced a similar kit for his own Passat Syncro and now offers them on a special order basis.

I have been considering the kits from dutchdub, but have a few ideas of my own that i want to try first. My biggest problem is finding an eccentric head adjuster bolt in M12x110.

is there any more info on these? I ended up just sticking in regular bushes

Any luck with photos of the eccentric bushes as my plans for 2007 include replacing the worn rears, amongst other things.

audi a6 (or a4) quattro is supposed to have the eccentric camber bolts
