Description
Time to finally sort the rear camber out and get all the wheels aligned on my Audi TT. Hopefully these adjustable rear camber arms should sort the problem. I was experiencing a huge knocking noise after driving the car on the motorway for the first time the other day, i couldn't see anything obvious but had suspicions about the diff in the gearbox..... Just watch the vid to find out what it was haha so embarrassing.

This video dives into the next steps of modifying the Audi TT and solving a camber imbalance issue that has been plaguing the wheels’ alignment. The creator explains that one side has significantly more camber than the other, even after a full tracking alignment, with 4 degrees on one side and about 3 on the other. Rather than pulling the subframe apart, they opt for adjustable camber arms sourced from eBay, hoping to increase the camber on the affected side enough to match the opposite wheel. The process involves swapping in the new top camber arms, identifying where to mount them, and planning to realign the suspension after installation. The narration covers the mechanical steps, the challenges of reach and bolt access, and the goal of achieving a visually straight wheel alignment while preserving tire wear. By the end of the segment, the immediate goal is to get a rough camber match and then have the car professionally aligned for precision, with a sense of anticipation for the final result. The video also segues into a casual day out, including a stop at a café and a look at other cars at an event, providing a broader look at the car community and the creator’s ongoing project journey. The overall tone mixes hands-on mechanical work with lighthearted, community-focused footage, maintaining an approachable, vlog-style narrative that invites viewers to follow along as the TT evolves. The creator hints at planned future modifications, sustaining viewer interest and engagement for upcoming episodes. The episode blends practical DIY car work with the creator’s signature BMX and car-enthusiast lifestyle, creating a multi-faceted automotive vlog experience.
