Wheel Alignment General Information
Always measure wheel alignment using VW approved wheel alignment equipment.
It is recommended to align the front and rear axles for every vehicle alignment.
Otherwise, proper vehicle driveability cannot be ensured.
‹› Wheels should not be aligned until the vehicle has been driven 1,000 - 2,000 km, since it takes this long for the coil springs to settle.
‹› When making adjustments the specifications must be adhered to as close as possible.
Steering wheel may be crooked if installation position of rear axle and driving direction of vehicle are not taken into account.
Steering wheel and steering column are marked.
A Line marking on steering wheel
B Punch indentation on steering column

Otherwise centering of toothed shaft cannot be guaranteed.
If steering wheel is offset, basic setting of steering angle sensor (G85) must be checked! perform basic setting using See: Steering/Steering
Column/Service and Repair/Removal and Replacement/Steering Column.
Steering columns that are delivered as replacement parts do not have punch indentations.
These steering columns must be marked after vehicle alignment and a subsequent road test.
