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.

I aligned mine myself, but the price of shims at the dealer was absurd.
I took a good look at the mount and decided that regular bulk washers would be just as good. (not SAE, I used the wide ones that sell by the pound) Less than $3 of washers from the hardware store, and a little time with the digital calipers sorting them worked well for me.
