Thanks

I've always wondered how to set the camber adjusters when factory originals had a mark and had a default factory setting when new camber adjusters doesn't have that mark

[@LimebugVW]

The largest flat side is the maxmum castor side on the reproduction camber nuts. I hear what you are saying but as you rotate it is largest flat open side of the nut, the initial indent is good as an indicator for first installation but is of no real use once the beam is assembled as during tracking an angle gauge/ alignment jig would be the primary measuring tool.

You didnt even pack the wheel bearing bruv.

We didn't fit the grease caps for this reason, same with beam is ready for grease pack but still "dry". Thanks for pointing it out though, good to know you watched the vid!
