rear suspension

i recently replaced my tie-rod ends. after doing so, i had the front end aligned. the rear remained untouched. i noticed the passenger's side rear wheel was leaning in on the top while the drivers side tire remained fine. i took the car to my mechanic to check out. he adjusted the torsion bars and the arms that attach to the brakes ( i don't know what these are called). after i got home, i noticed the car seems to be higher off the ground, agood 1-1.5 inches higher. both wheels are the same, but now they lean in on the bottom. is this o.k.. the ride has improved, i just want to know if it is incorrect/dangerous-thanks -chris

You need to have this work done by a qualified VW tech---or Porsche. Just any guy will screw it up. THis happened to me wiht a 911. The more positive camber---that is the wheels further apart at the bottom and narrower at the top the better handling. Like when you are standing with your legs spread in sports, you have a solid platform. Put your feet together and a Girl Scout can knock you over. My wheels are so decambered that the rear ones only show wear on the inside 2/3. The reason you have a better ride now is that you have more torsion bar travel. I would not take your car deep into a turn right now or you may not have the shiny side up. I brought my IM to the best local place---they do all the police interceptors and hot rods and when they got to the rears they said to take it to a VW expert. I called my 911 mechanic of 25 yrs ---back in Cali---and he concurred. Be careful!~!

Here is a pict of my car. Note how the top of the wheel is canted in under the fender well and the bottom of is pushed out. Equals stability and handling although a slightly harsher ride.
Mine is pretty rad but there are more extreme ones out there.
Good luck

Actually that's negative camber.

Ed, you are right. That is why they say "decambered" right? Positive and neg caster is a lot easier to keep straight.
