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 driveability 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 specifications should be followed 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.

After making adjustments on the suspension on vehicles with ESP or ABS, the steering angle sensor (G85) must be calibrated and steering must be readapted after performing the axle alignment. Refer to vehicle diagnostic tester in "Guided Functions

Then:

- 03-Brake electronics J104

- 03-Steering Angle Sensor -G85- calibration

If the installed position of the rear axle and thereby the direction of travel of the vehicle are not considered, a crooked steering wheel may result.

Steering wheel and steering column are marked.






These positions must not be changed!

A Marked line on steering wheel
B Punch mark on steering column

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.
