My 67 beetle has been sitting in the garage for a couple years now. All this time the rear wheels have had the bottom og the rear wheels angled in. I recently hooked a tow bar to it and towed it approximately 4 miles to another garage at my home. Oh yeah, the motor has been out of the car all this time. Should the rear wheels still be toed in at the bottom? I put a jack under one of the shocks to see if that would change anything. When I lowere the jack, nothing has changed. Again, is this normal? I've tried to upload photos to the gallery, but can't seem to grt that accomplished. What could I be doing wrong?(with the uploading) _________________ shakers73

It is normal when the engine is not installed. The rear camber changes with the ride height on the swingaxle rear suspension. _________________

Yes it is. And even if you lift the car with the engine in. |
