Alignment: Service and Repair
Front Wheel Raised Toe
Front Wheel Raised Toe
The front wheel raised-toe measurement is determined from the wheel toe measured in the unladen position, and the wheel toe measured with the wheel
raised 60 mm from the unladen position.
The front wheels must be bounced in order to check and set the front wheel toe-in curve. Special tools VAG 1925 and VAG 1925/3 are required for this
work.
The front wheel raised-toe measurement must be checked each time the vehicle alignment procedure is carried out.
The front wheel raised toe must be checked if:
-
The swing arm/track rod joint (-A- and -B-) has been loosened.
-
Axle components and/or the body have been damaged in an accident.
-
Car does not steer properly when travailing over uneven surfaces and when braking.
1. Attach special adjustment tool No. VAG 1925 with adapter tool No. VAG 1925/3, or equivalents, to front subframe bolts on both sides.
NOTE: If there are clearance problems when adjusting the adjustment tool, do not attach adapter until later.
2. Unscrew both threaded spindles just enough for them to touch front subframe bolts.
3. Position axle lift at front jacking points and jack up car about 70 mm (2-3/4 inch).
NOTE: When the car is jacked up, the wheels must not lose contact with the turntables.
