Originally posted by PhatVR6As coxylaad pointed out, we follwed your steps and the bar dimensions were wrong. I designed some more myself.
I’ve been offering up these plates to my axle and taking many measurements of camber and visually looking at the effects on toe (as I can’t measure that at the moment).
I have concluded that the outer adjuster is a waste of time. All it does is move the wheel about in the arch with very very little effect on camber (if the slot is vertical) or toe. In fact, on my corrado, with the adjusters fitted as you show, the wheel won’t even fit, it’ll just hit the rear bumper. Also, the bolts you list are too short to be used on the outside without much thinner plates.
So, as a solution to this i actually slotted the inner bolt on an angle, the easiest way to describe it is to to draw a line from the original hole up to the top of the b pillar or there abouts (hard to describe as my car is upside down.)
This way, toe and camber is adjusted at the same time. I had over 6 degrees of camber at max extents, I can get this to more like 3.5 degrees. and I can get it to zero camber at a sensible ride height, and only 2 degrees when running as low as i dare without the driveshafts hitting the chassis.
At the time I made this conversion for myself, which was in March 2007 the part numbers & dimensions were correct, however VW/ Audi have a upgrade programme (over which I have no control) which modifies/alters components, and my axle was fitted to a Golf 2 Syncro and not to a modified 2wd Corrado.
Given the concerns previously posted over bar dimensions etc in this topic, I cannot believe that anyone with any intelligence would get the brackets machined without first confirming the bolt head dimensions,
As this was fitted to my Golf 2 Syncro at the same time as my G3 VR6 Widetrack conversion, (And I have never even pretended otherwise) I cannot comment on how it will fit with regard to a different model(s)
Both slots do work to adjust the camber & toe in/out, the inner works better because it has a better moment arm than the outer, so to my thinking this is better controlling the plane with the greatest movement needed.
Yes, if you perform a search on here you can find answers to most of your questions, if not then please ask away!
it could be the ABS relay that is faulty, as 1 duff sensor will not stop the rest of the system from working, did the pump power up when you turned on the ignition?

]Hi Ben, What a car you have just bought, it must be one of the best unrestored Golf 2s in the UK, it is definitely the best original Symcro,
as you can see from the site we are all here to help you with any problems that you may have.According to ETKA the 4 CV joints you want are [
]191 498 099CX Right outer
191 498 340 X Left outer
171 498 103CX Both innerThey are all std 2wd joints & boots
It all depends on your vin number (model year) 1989/1990 was the model year changeover point, vin nrs are 1G-K-990 000 to end 89 (90mm inners) or 1G-L-000 00190 on (100mm inners)
The differences are 2 holes, some countersinking and a slightly modified casting, or do you want one with oilways? early is without o/ways later is with them, but from the sound of what you are building I think you want a later (with) bellhousing?
I will try to post some photos later.Hello Andy, welcome back yet again [
]A Rallye bellhousing without oilways? if so then I have one here for you! [^]
The air corrector jets are the ones with the screwdriver slot in them where you remove the complete assembly.
i’ve got a propshaft from a Golf G60 Syncro laying around, figured that could be used? – yes its ideal.
the holes for the screws are drifferent, and larger
– your Golf G60 Syncro prop will sort that out.The Passat Got ABS, and so does the Golf, but a larger master cylinder will do the trick
– absolutely, Golf m/c is 19.05mm, diameter, Passat is 20.64mm the same m/c as Rallye.could be a fun car in the future
– dont worry, it will be []If you transfer the Passat front subframe compleat with motor, gearbox, driveshafts & everything, you will get a worthwhile 50mm track increase, the rear is the same width, identical diff, drive shafts etc, the only difference is disc instead do drum brakes!
The center section prop is the same (bearings) the outer sections are a different length & will need cutting down to fit the golf.
You can also compleatly swap the motor wiring loom & motor management computer over.
You will need to fit the Passat brake master cylinder to cope with the rear disc & 280mm front brakes.
