What can be adjusted for wheel alignment?

On stock suspension, what adjustments can the tech make for 4-wheel alignment? Is it only toe?


Anyone have stock specs for wheel alignment?

Toe is only one adjustable, however by adjusting toe, it will change castor/camber. Setting toe to zero, as I've done on my 2015, will likely bring the camber angle both right and left closer to being the same. It also makes the car steer and handle better. If the castor angle is still off comparing right to left, it can be corrected by shifting the subframe very slightly, however it is rare to need to do thiss on a golf.

thanks. got her aligned today after getting lowering springs installed.



Total front toe before: -0.61*; after: 0.19*
Steer ahead before: -0.02*; after 0.01*

what were the castor/camber readings? With a zero toe, you might acheive a steer ahead of zero which is ideal.

Left: -1.0* camber; 7.2* caster
Right: -1.1* camber; 7.5* caster


definitely feels more planted pushing her in turns.
