General notes
Wheel alignment must always be performed using wheel alignment equipment approved by VW/Audi.
The alignment check must always include both the front and the rear axles.
This is important to achieve proper handling and road behaviour.
On right-hand drive vehicles with standard running gear (1BA), the camber setting at the front wheels must be calculated as a function of the vehicle height and adjusted accordingly → Anchor.
  Note
t  To allow running gear to fully settle, wheel alignment should not be checked before the vehicle has completed 1000 to 2000 km.
t  When making adjustments, try to obtain the specified settings as accurately as possible.
  WARNING
If adjustments are made to the suspension geometry, the steering angle sender -G85- must be calibrated on vehicles with ESP or ABS after wheel alignment has been completed → vehicle diagnostic, testing and information system VAS 5051, Guided Functions.
