    How do you adjust the rear wheel camber when the car is on its wheels?? - I have taken the A6 to 3 different wheel alignment places now and ALL have said they cannot get to the camber adjustment with the wheel on!!
    Is there a trick to this - or maybe a 'special' Audi tool?

    The camber bolts are most likely seized in the upper arm bushes.

    I have been to some places in the past where they say they cannot do it, just them with bad tooling. long reach aircraft spanner normally works.

    All the rear end arms bushes etc have just been replaced - so I know everything is free and adjustable

    As you say.....just bad tooling!

    Sarini Adjustable Magnetic Gauge Tool, Gauge Tool For Car/Truck Camber Castor Strut Wheel Alignment (Grey) : Amazon.co.uk: Automotive

    Just do it yourself.

    There are plenty of YouTube videos explaining how use the gauge.

    Measure with the wheel on put the guage on the brake disc and then remove the wheel and adjust it to be within the middle of the correct reading for your suspension.
