Subject:      Lifted Vanagon - too much negative camber on front wheels no
              matter what

Here's another one for the collective wisdom (thanks for all the help with removing my trailing arms--the Sawzall made short work of it, as it does with most things).

My '91 2wd is now riding on 16" wheels with 245/75 tires, borne aloft by the Syncro.org 2wd lift springs, Bilstein HD shocks, and the syncro-services.de spacers.

The rear suspension works perfectly. In the front, I simply can't move the upper control arms out far enough to prevent about 3 degrees of negative camber. Did VW make other eccentric discs to allow an extra range of adjustment?

Thanks to all, Walt
