Installation of your 034Motorsport Camber Adding Ball Joint

Kit

This Install Guide documents the installation process on a

MK7 VW GTI and 8V.5 A3. There may be minor differences

depending on specific vehicle, market, options, etc.

NOTE: If you have a big brake kit, double check ball joint

clearance to rotor before finalizing installation

Step 1. Lift the car to access the front suspension.

Step 2. Remove the front wheels

Step 3 Using a 16mm wrench, remove the nuts securing the ball joints to the lower control arms.

Step 4 Separate the ball joint and the control arm.

Step 5 Using an 18mm wrench, loosen the top nut on the ball joint

*To prevent the ball joint stud from spinning, use a 7mm Allen on the top of the stud. This will require moving the axle out of the way. Alternatively, you can loosen the nut with the wheels still on, and under load

Step 6 Use a ball joint removal tool to separate the ball joint from the upright. Be careful, these things pop!

Step 7 Remove the stock ball joint from the knuckle and insert the 034 ball joint in the stock location.

Step 8 Before adding the top nut to secure the ball joint to the knuckle, install the M12 washer.

Step 9 Using an 18mm wrench, tighten the top nut on the ball joint

*If you moved the axle out of the way, a T40 Torx will fit into the end of the stud to keep it from spinning.

Step 10 Position the lower control arm to engage with the studs on the ball joint.

Step 11 Using a 15mm socket, secure the ball joints to the lower control arms with the provided M10 flanged nuts.

Step 12 Put the wheels back on the car.

Step 13 Tighten the upper nut with the car under load to prevent the ball joint studs from spinning.

Step 14 After performing an alignment, torque the upper ball joint nut to 60Nm. Torque the 3 lower nuts to 45Nm +45°.

Step 15 You are done. Dial in your stance with all that new camber and send it.
