Wheel Alignment
Wheel alignment must only performed using VW/Audi-approved wheel alignment equipment!
Wheel alignment checks must always include both the front and rear axles.
Otherwise centering of toothed shaft cannot be guaranteed!
- Perform alignment using the alignment computer.
All information needed for the alignment can be found in the alignment computer.
