Camber will be need to be reset when removing or replacing the front suspension struts. The two strut mounting holes are elongated on GTI models, allowing a degree of adjustment. If a strut is being removed then refitted (e.g. following spring replacement), the position of the bolts can be marked against the strut which will allow accurate refitting. This isn't possible when renewing a strut, but basic camber setting can be achieved by setting the front wheels to vertical (zero camber). After the tracking has been checked this will give safe handling and minimal tyre wear until the suspension alignment can be professionally set to the required -0.5 to -1.0 degree camber specified by VW. Note, other models of mk2 Golf such as the Driver have non-adjustable camber as the struts have round mounting holes, and do not require any adjustment other than a final tracking check.

Where is the caster-camber adjustment on a 2001 Chevy truck?

I have a maunual that states, "Camber and castor can be adjusted, but only after an adjustment kit at GM dealers, is installed. My manual is 1988 thru 1998, All Models and 1999 and 2000, C/K Classics, 2WD and 4WD. I also experience this when I had new tires installed and asked them to align it. They couldn't and I was quoted about $200.00 dollars labor to install the kit. This could very easily apply to your 2001 Chevy.
