Hello,
The rear axle beam in my car is similar to that of Mk4 Jetta. It seems to be bent slightly. It has caused camber and toe issues at the rear.
| Rear | Camber | Toe |
|---|---|---|
| Left | -01°55" | +00°17" |
| Right | -01°09" | +00°37" |
| Spec | -01°30" ± 0°10" | +00°10" ± 00°10" |
The car feels drooped down at the rear right, which is temporarily corrected if I keep it parked on a slope with either left wheels or right wheels, higher up than the wheels on the other side. Swapping the rear coil springs fixes it for some time, until it reoccurs on the rear right side.
With a new axle beam costing more than $1500 around here, and practically no hope of finding an unbent one at a junkyard, I am looking to have it fixed to OEM specifications.
- Please let me know of ways to ensure the camber and toe are correct. The axle beam is likely to be fixed on a press.
for the rocket pass 3 theres 2 main problems:
1: the slash beam 3 boost is laggy (im on xbox) and it makes playing with it impossible for me but slash beam 1/2 work flawless
2: when i put celestial 1/2s on a few cars you can see the axles poke out
i love these boosts and wheels but this is mainly why i dont use them and hopefully it gets changed
Does an IRS use that much material? Or is there a premium paid for the perceived value?
Hi,
- Is it possible to do that without dropping the axle beam, and without using any special tools?
- What kind of grease should be used to fill the central metallic sleeve of the bushings, to prevent any noises?
VW has brake caliper grease listed for the purpose, but it costs more than a pair of bushings.
The car is a 2010 VW Polo Sedan, with the suspension similar to Mk4 Jetta.
They are made from 16MnCr5 steel and I have 100+ of them. its 5115 alloy in US I think. It is nitro-carbonized and it is 60-62 HRC hard. They are 200mm 8" long, 50mm 2" Dia and hollow with a 30mm 1"1/4 roughly down the middle.
They are rusty but vary from shiny but worn to heavily rusted.
What can be made from this steel? Is it good for sharp stuff like blades or blunt stuff like axe, hammers??
Would like to find a use for them as i have quite a lot of them. If they were useful I might soften a bunch and cut and beat them flat.
Aslo have some broken torsion bars 20mm 7/8" but no idea what they are made of.
Hi,
The rear axle beam bushings, in my car, are worn, and seem to be causing issues. I am thinking of replacing those.
VW has specified the use of brake assembly grease (part number: G 052 150 A2, ECS Tuning link) to fill the insides of the bushings, to prevent noises, likely from contact between the bolt and the bushing.
Getting the VW specified brake assembly grease is cost prohibitive, being more expensive than the bushings.
Is it okay to use white lithium grease, or lithium grease, instead? If not, what else could be used?
The car is a 2010 VW Polo Sedan, with about 119,500 kms on it. The suspension, and the rear axle beam, are similar to those of Mk4 Jetta.

I noticed that something was fucky while I was driving, it almost felt like it was fish tailing and sliding back and fourth. I pulled into a parking lot and there was a few strange noises. When I got out to investigate the rear wheels were cambered out pretty bad. So basically the axle is almost cracked in half, right next to the reinforcement wrap thing on the drivers side. I was right next to a Ford dealer so I went over and had a chat with the service rep, he said there was basically no way Ford would do anything about it since the recall was done on it. They quoted $800 for the repair.
Is there anything I can do? The service rep said someone came in last year with the same issue, so I guess the reinforcement doesn't work as well as Ford had hoped.
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
The nurse asked the rabbit, “what is your blood type?”
“I am probably a type O” said the rabbit.
The doctor says it terminal.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
