Alignment: Description and Operation

 
General information 

Always measure wheel alignment using Audi-approved wheel alignment equipment.

Wheel alignment checks must always include both front and rear axles.

Otherwise, proper vehicle driveability cannot be ensured.

Note: 
^

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 relevant specifications must be adhered to as closely as possible.

^

Vehicle instability can also be caused by the wheels having a residual imbalance and/or radial runout which is too great.

CAUTION: After adjustment work performed on the front axle, calibration of the Steering Angle Sensor G85 and re-adaptation of the
steering must be performed on vehicles with ESP or ABS after vehicle alignment.

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.

Do not change this position.

A - Line marking on steering wheel
B - Punch indentation on steering column

Otherwise centering of toothed shaft cannot be guaranteed.

Steering columns that are delivered as replacement parts do not have punch indentations.

Reapply markings after replacing steering column or steering wheel and performing alignment and road test.
