Front camber is adjusted at the strut to knuckle bolts.
You can adjust the camber by drilling out the spotwelds on the upper strut plates. This will allow you to slide the strut plate in and out to make your adjustments. (been aligning for 13 years).

There is no factory adjustment for camber in the Volvo S70. Aftermarket camber adjustment kits are available which use a lobed bolt on one of the lower strut mount points to increase or decrease camber.
lowering coils or coilovers. camber/caster balljoints on the front. strut cambolts on the rear.
Camber will be need to be reset when removing or replacing the front suspension struts. The two strut mounting holes are elongated on GTI models, allowing a degree of adjustment. If a strut is being removed then refitted (e.g. following spring replacement), the position of the bolts can be marked against the strut which will allow accurate refitting. This isn't possible when renewing a strut, but basic camber setting can be achieved by setting the front wheels to vertical (zero camber). After the tracking has been checked this will give safe handling and minimal tyre wear until the suspension alignment can be professionally set to the required -0.5 to -1.0 degree camber specified by VW. Note, other models of mk2 Golf such as the Driver have non-adjustable camber as the struts have round mounting holes, and do not require any adjustment other than a final tracking check.
If you replaced an axle without touching camber, strut, and tie rod bolts. then no.
You can buy what they refer to as camber bolts that you put where the strut mounts to the knuckle, which are oblong, and allow for adjustment. My alignment guy says they have a hard time getting them to work correctly and stay in place so the alternative is to elongate the lower mounting hole in the strut to allow adjustment. That would probably be the best way. When you buy aftermarket struts, they are usually already elongated.
Yes, you will need to do an alignment.
there is a special tool to adjust the rear camber, as far as i know its only available through Snap-On. Most service garages do not carry this tool, but a dealer would.
There is no tricks, and no special tools. Just remember to dis-connect the strut at the lower ball joint- that way you won't mess up the camber adjustment.
MK4 applications cannot adjust camber, VW did this on purpose (which is really inconvenient), if you have tire wear, you probably should look into the toe adjustment, its fairly common for the toe to become misaligned which would create uneven tire wear, in some cases adjustment of the toe can be more of the culprit in these situations than camber is.... if however you still wish to adjust camber you'll need a camber plate or kit... (side note, you can tweak a few bolts here and there to so slight camber adjustments, but the results are fairly nonexistent)Answeri know for a fact that the camber cant be adjusted on my 1.4cl as there is no space for the strut to move.it is just a straight bolt through,but as far as i know(im no mechanic)nearly every other golf mk3 will have some kind of adjustment due to the elongated slots.but im told that very few places actually have the laser equipment to do this,and would cost roughly 50-60 quid to do as they need to track and balance again(that's what i was told anayway)hope i have been of some assistance. Purchase the correct camber bolts, or slot the holes in the strut tower. they do not need to be "lasered" to open the slots. A small file or oval grinding wheel works well.
Camber can be increased by using flaps.
