Hi all,
i just noticed that my passenger wheel/tire appears to be slightly, albeit noticeably, tucked in more than my driver's side rear. I noticed this after putting spacers on. What could this indicate? Suspension slightly misaligned? More camber on the passenger side? Is tgere anything I can do to fix it?

Have an alignment shop look at it. That is the first step. I can tell you that on 2 of the 3 cars I have here that the front drivers side wheel sits out further than the passenger side by a nominal 3/16". Becomes quite noticeable rounding corners with the odd dip in them when you have spacers, are lowered slightly, and put a phat arse like mine in on the drivers side....

Yea, either alignment is off or what are the chances that the fender was banged in the past and repaired?

Thanks for the input. I've heard that the camber can't be adjusted on these cars. Is that true?

Rear camber is adjustable

You can have a subframe alignment done at Audi.

A good alignment shop with knowledge will center the subframe and then align each side in conjunction with the fronts for a 4 wheel alignment.

Something as simple as worn out bushing can be the cause as well - then alignment...
