Default re: K-Mac Camber Kits

Can anyone decipher this for me?

"The K-Mac front Camber and Caster 'A 6" adjuster #140916
simply replaces the upper/inner control arm bushes.

Comes with bush extraction tool and allows precise adjustment
for the first time on 1995 to 2007 A4/A6/A8 models!

$320 set US

Fedex freight $35"


Does anyone have a picture of the part on the car it replaces?

Thanks,
BB

Default If you simply look in the front wheel arch above the tyre, you will see what it replaces...

It is obvious if you look!

Interesting. It's certainly cheaper than buying adjustable control arms..

<center><img src="http://www.k-mac.com/pages/newprods/vw/images/140916.gif"></center><p>Crack Habit! Looks like I am back on the pipe!

Its a pretty costly mod, but if I keep the car for another 40K (200K total) then it might be worth the cost of tires considering you have to replace all 4 with the AWD.

They are $350 shipped, plus of course the cost to install and align....yikes. Any more advice?
