Adjusting front axle toe

Special tools and workshop equipment required

t	Torque wrench -V.A.G 1332-

If a value lies outside the tolerances, the vehicle's transverse inclination must be checked and compensated if necessary, → Chapter.

–	Loosen lock nut -1-.

–	Adjust toe by turning left and/or right track rod.

To do this use an open-end spanner on the hexagon -arrow- on the track rod.

After turning track rods, ensure that boots are not twisted.

Twisted boots wear out quickly.

–	Tighten lock nut -1- to 50 Nm and check toe setting again.

It is possible that the value will change slightly when lock nut -1- is tightened.

If the set value does not deviate by more than 2′ from specification, the setting is OK.
