Hi so im replacing a driveshaft on the polo. cv boots been torn for a while now and started noticing a small knocking noise on full lock. soo been doing my research into how i go about replacing it, pretty sure I know enough to do it however, a guide said to mark the three bolts on the underside behind the wheel hub so when replacing them its easier to align.

what i need to know is, what is aligned with those bolts? people say to take it to a garage to align it all after changing it but what do i ask them to align? is that the tracking or what?

Ask them to do the camber and tracking

Normally it'll only affect the camber but best to get both checked.
