Hello, It's good to have an alignment every set of new tires. Someone will know more than I but make sure the shop you go it good. I took the front end of my Jetta apart one time and the local shop didn't know how to do anything but the toe in. I told them the camber needed checked but all I got was a dumb look. I ended up at the dealer and I still had to explain. I'm not sure which angles are adjustable but yours sounds like the camber angle. Good luck, Steve --- Fred Brittain <vanpire@CITLINK.NET> wrote: > Volks, > > I've just had the tires rotated on my '89 Westy > because I noticed the > inside rib of each front showed slight dishing > or cupping.
