Wheel Alignment

Wheel Alignment

Wheel alignment must only performed using VW/Audi-approved wheel alignment equipment.

Each time wheels are aligned, both front and rear wheels must be aligned.

Otherwise, proper vehicle driveablity cannot be ensured.

• Do not carry out axle alignment until the vehicle has been driven 1000 to 2000 km in order to allow the coil springs to settle.

• The individual target values should be met as exactly as possible when making adjustments.

• Vehicle instability can also be caused by the wheels having a residual imbalance and/or radial runout which is too great.

CAUTION!
After adjusting the chassis on vehicles with ESP or ABS, calibrate the steering angle sensor (G85) vie the Guided Fault Finding function using the Vehicle Diagnostic, Testing and Information System (VAS 5051B).

Steering wheel and steering column are marked.





CAUTION!
These positions must not be changed!

Otherwise centering of toothed shaft cannot be guaranteed!

• Steering columns supplied as a spare part do not have a center punch mark.

• If the steering column or steering wheel is replaced, marking should be remade after alignment and road test.
