    camber adjustment

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Does anyone offer adjustable control arms or strut mounts for our C5 A6's? My car has the sport suspension but I'm not sure if the previous owner lowered it even more. With the BBS 18's that are on it, it appears that the tops of the wheels are slightly tucked in. I searched for adjustable control rods but couldn't find anything for our platform.

    Thanks,
    Ian

    CPP makes adjustable control arms, but I don't think they are widely available anymore (rumor was CPP closed it's doors)

    KMAC might be better suited and easier to find. just search it out

    Yea CPP is closed now, but like as he said, KMAC.
    I have the CPP on my B5 A4 and i love them. My camber is perfect and the alignment guy said it was a breeze (and noted it was pretty cool) adjusting them,

    Awesome thanks. I saw a reference for the CPP's somewhere but when I searched I couldn't find anything. I'll look for the KMAC's.

    Re: camber adjustment

    So, I looked into the KMAC's - they are eccentric bushings, right? Correct me if I'm wrong but when people replace their OEM control arms, they are doing it because the bushings are worn, correct? Therefore, it would be logical to keep the arms, press the old worn bushings out and replace them with the KMAC's and have 100% functional arms with new eccentric bushings?

    Thanks,
    Ian

    Exactly correct. The only reason you'd replace the whole arm is if the ball joints on the arms were worn out.
