Rob, I know you gave me a parts list. I bought and fitted top eccentric camber bolts, but it's my understanding there is toe adjustments too on the rear front lower wishbone? Only I can't find any reference to it for the B7, nor bolt part numbers. There must be toe adjustment too, right? And they won't be eccentric? Did I misread that parts list and fail to buy them? The place where I had the exhaust fitted do 4 wheel alignment for £60, I watched a couple being done while I was there; I was going to book it in but they obviously mentioned that camber adjustment alone will put out the toe. My lower bolts look pretty rusty too, so if this is the case I'll get them sorted before, as well.
 
Thanks Rob,

Both 3 and 10 on this parts diagram (from an old post of yours :) ) are eccentric bolts. I have changed 10 for camber, I presume 3, is for toe? But I can't see exactly from this picture where it goes. But they are identical part numbers too.

I have found reference to the bushing needing to be changed at the same time too: https://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/603048-Yes-those-Rear-lower-eccentric-bolts-I-searched.

The funny thing is there are lots of rear toe eccentric bolt kits for the A3, A4 B8s and most other VAGs, but nothing for the A4 B7s. I can't imagine it's any the less.

8E0 501 387C is different than 8E0 501 387D, I now see. I've managed to buy some of the former - it wasn't easy tracking them down. They seem to fit in the lower front inner bush of the wishbone, which would make sense. Let's see.
