I've now had alignment done twice and had two reasons given to me why the offside rear wheel can't be adjusted...

It's showing as having very marginal positive camber when I want it to have negative camber to help with the clearance.

First place told me the adjustment bolt is seized and they couldn't sort.. Second place whom I am more inclined to believe have said the adjuster is already at the max and therefore can't be adjusted to make the negative camber switch...

That's a really poor picture but basically there is a off circular shape adjuster that throws the camber when turned and it looks to be already at the wider part of the throw.

Has anyone had experience of this as I understand it may be a common problem. I was asked if the car had been in an accident which I didn't know the answer too but now having checked the paint with a thickness reader it all appears to be factory thickness (with the exception of the work I know i have had done)

Really want to get this resolved but don't want to waste more time and money without actually getting it fixed!
 
To get negative camber it needs to be on the flat side of the pear shaped washer, I had to modify mine to get -3 camber on mine so it is more than doable. PM me or call me if you still have my number and I can tell you exactly how I did it. I even found my whole body to be a few mm over to the right hand side so I ended up loosening the whole sub frame and centering it.
 
Here was the camber with the standard wheels as you can see is way more than factory

Hi new to this site.
have 2010 a4 b8 model.
bought it on coilovers but wanted to go back to sport suspension for some comfort.
i have replaced all shocks and springs to the sport 20mm drop audi suspension,changed all front arms and repaced both rear camber arms.
i work at a tyre depo so went to align car and cannot get rear to line up?moved subframe left to right with still no joy.pass rear seems ok but cannot get a negitive camber on driver rear?any one ever have this problem might b able to shed some light?thanks...
