A6 Quattro Sedan V6-2.7L Turbo (APB) (2000)
Notes:
^
Radial run-out must always be measured if the flange drive shaft rear final drive was removed. Make new color marking and remove old color
marking.
^
If a new drive shaft is installed and the color marking on the drive flange of the rear final drive is no longer visible, location of largest radial
run-out must be determined and marked with a color marking.
^
Align this colored dot with colored dot on drive shaft.
^
Radial run-out can also be measured with the rear final drive installed, however the drive shaft must be disconnected from the rear final drive.
