Wheels/tires, balancing (continued)
Note
For on-the-vehicle balancing of the driving wheels, the wheels must be driven by the engine so that wheel speeds are synchronized.
CAUTION
For on-the-vehicle wheel balancing of Quattro models, both axles of the vehicle MUST be raised and the parking brake released. If not, damage to the
Torsen center differential will result.
Wheels, installing
^
install wheels and tighten lug bolts with point of maximum radial runout at top
Note
If tire wear is approximately equal, the wheels with the lowest amount ot radial runout and the smallest balance weights should be installed at the front.
^
repeat road test of vehicle
If vibrations are still present, the radial and lateral oscillations of one or more tires are too high. These oscillations cannot be measured with normal
workshop equipment. For such cases, the front tires, rear tires or all four tires should be replaced.
