    I've just come back from a tyre aligment check with the news that the camber is out on the drivers side of my 2003 A4 avant. The tracking is in line with Audi's tolerances but the camber is -1.5 deg's. The tyre guys said that it needs some adjustment to the subframe which they couldn't do - and that it would be 'quite a big job'. Has anyone had any experience of this and is it best done at an Audi *******?

    I do go through tyres pretty quicky - on average 15,000mls which may be a result of the camber issue - or my right boot.

    Thanks in advance for any responses/direction.

    Less of the *******,it isnt that big a job but a complete 4 wheel alignment is required 2 hours including adjustment.Might have saved your self some money if you had gone audi in the first place.Good luck mr miller

    Thanks for the quick reply A8tech - I'll have a word with the dealership. In your view is it a critical bit of work (eg safety impairment) or an optional (no safety issues - tyre wear impact).

    Your opinion is helpful.

    I would recommend adjustment to prevent tyre wear,but not critical to the safety of the vehicle.
