Hi all,
I'm going to try and get a wheel alignment again this weekend. This time I'm planning on standing there and watching everything they do, just to make sure they do everything I ask. I have my doubts that they know how to align a 914, especially the rear. The front adjustments seem pretty straight forward to me. The rear, on the other hand, is a little less clear. There are 3 bolts to loosen, I believe. Does anybody have a decent pic of the bolts that are used in the adjustment? Also, loosening the bolts allows adjustment of the rear toe, but shims are needed to adjust the camber, is that correct? Anybody that can explain this to me will get a beer, although they have to come up to Regina, Saskatchewan to collect.

Hmm, I don't have any shims. I was hoping that the shop would have some, but that's probably expecting way too much. I was hoping to get the alignment done this weekend, but thats not likely enough time to get the shims. I'll send Engman a PM and see what can be done.
