A3 Quattro V6-3.2L (BUB) (2008)
Alignment: Service Precautions
Wheel Alignment
Wheel alignment must only performed using VW/Audi-approved wheel alignment equipment.
Each time wheels are aligned, both front and rear wheels must be aligned.
Otherwise, proper vehicle driveability cannot be ensured.
‹› Wheels should not be aligned until the vehicle has been driven 1,000 to 2,000 km, since it takes this long for the coil springs to settle.
‹› The individual specifications should be followed as exactly as possible when making adjustments.
‹› Vehicle instability can also be caused by the wheels having a residual imbalance and/or radial runout which is too great.
CAUTION.
After making adjustments on the front axle on vehicles with ESP or ABS, the steering angle sensor must be calibrated and steering must
be readapted after vehicle alignment. Refer to => Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information System VAS 5051 in "Guided Fault
Finding".
