Horrible Camber Problem and I need help...
I took it to an alignment shop. He said on the rear, the drivers side that he was turning some adjustment bolt but nothing was happening. Then he said the other side was missing some kind of washer. I know that all hardware was put back on the car when I installed the CO, I am 100% sure of it. So he told me to order new bolts from audi before he could touch the camber. Then, he looks at the front, said it was too much work, and didn't try to fix it. I grabbed my keys and walked out. I didn't pay him cause he didn't do anything and he was lazy. I called before I came telling him it was lowered and he said he's done cars like me before, even audi's...I guess that was a lie. He didn't try to stop me and his boss even apologized, but whatever, **** that dude. What could have been the deal with the one bolt just "spinning" I guess and not doing any adjusting? I'm going to order the new bolts if you guys think its a good idea.
Yeah Im sitting at 24 gtf and had an alignment done right when we dropped it and I have 0 camber issues. I found a shop I trust and like and have had no issues. **** call stealership see how much they want for a 4wheel alignment. Mine was $90 at the shop I use.
you need new eccentric washers in the rear. they go on the outside of the bolt that hold the bearing housing to the lower fron control arm. most likely if they are still there you will ruin them and round out the key way in the washer. if you get under it youll see what it is. check out a write up on replacing rear wheel bearings that where i found the information on that.

"For the rear of the car, you have two adjustment points, toe and camber. There is a larger cam bolt/nut setup on the hinge point of the lower control arm and the wheel bearing housing. The bolt/nut has a travel that moves 180 degrees (rotates 90 degrees to the left or the right) this will adjust the rear camber. I had trouble with this because my car was lowered (H&R sport/Bilsteins). I ended up with -1.24 degrees of camber (tops of tires slightly tilted towards inside of wheel well). The lowered suspension caused this effect. "
