So I got my car aligned after doing my TREs. I was going to replace all CA next cuz I noticed left passenger rear tire having camber wear reaaalll bad like bald on one side and good tread on the other half when I got my new rims/ tires. Anyways after alignment he told me both rears are "frozen" not bad. He said I can unfreeze them by taking the bolts out and retightening. Should Iget the CA kit anyways or just try to unfreeze them?

Get a whole new kit. And you'll need another alignment.

what exactly is the difference? length or just weight? Is the rear sub of the wagon completely different from the estate ?

I have a 1.8t. That matters because of weight right?
