Wheel Alignment, with Torsion Beam Rear Suspension






Wheel Alignment, with Torsion Beam Rear Suspension

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 the alignment using the wheel alignment computer.

The wheel alignment computer has all the information for the vehicle alignment.

Wheels should not be aligned until the vehicle has been driven 1,000 to 2,000 km, since it takes this long for the coil springs to settle.

The individual specifications should be followed as exactly as possible when making adjustments.
