If your talking about the front end you have to remove the arms and bend them in a press no kits

Hi

I thought that the lower ball joints had a camber adjustment.

Ball joint beetles have camber/caster adjusters...

type 3s had splines in the front end to adjust height...
they would have to have something to adjust the camber/caster....

the yellow one is original VW
gold one is aftermarket.. more adjustment..

1500 beetle - same as 1976 beetle...

I no longer have any type 3 manuals
so I can't really be sure....

yeah they do but if you need more then the arms have to be bent

If you only want stock it would be a good idea to pull them apart and lub up so its easier for the soft hands of the wheel aligner dont want them skinning there knuckles
