Default pulling

my b5 is pulling to the right quite a bit.. rotated tires and still pulling. nothing seems bent, is there a way to cheat alignement? camber and caster is not adjustable on my quattro... so i read. is this true?

You can do a cheapie alignment with a tape measure. Measure the same spot on both tires (pick a common lug or groove in the tire) on the front and back of the tire. I don't know the toe-in spec for the car so you'll have to look that up. obviously taking it in for an alignment is best but you can actually get really close with this method.

if your tires wear differently because the wheels are out of alignment, you're going to have to replace all four in order to avoid damaging the quattro system. Avoid that huge expense and get a wheel alignment asap.

tires are not wearing uneven, toein or out will not make a car pull, i guess i'll have to get under the car to find out if i can cheat the camber..cheers
