I had my car aligned today at a garage with new fancy setup and what they found was a little freaky. Well, more of what they did not find. They have specs for Golfs w/o sport suspension and specs for Golfs with sport suspension (GTI). Neither of these specs really matched my car. Also, they phoned AllData, another company like AllData, the manufacturer of the alignment rack and my dealer and got nada. No one has even HEARD of the 337. VW could not even tell him what the specs for a 337 should be.

So my question is: WTF are the proper values for caster, camber toe and thrust angle, for the front and rear. Also, is the rear Camber adjustable? My left is -1.43 deg and my right is -1.11 deg. I HAVE NEVER HIT A CURB. ( see attached worksheet)
Thanks for any feedback you have on this.

Who'd of thunk it, the dealer knew nothing about it.

Thanks, I will. The 20AE has the same setup right?
Nice to see the dealer is CLUELESS!! As usual. Idiots.
