Alignment: Specifications

Front Axle Specifications

*Wheel stop on outer wheel is reduced by this amount. It can also be indicated negatively in alignment computer, depending on manufacturer.

Rear Axle Specifications

Wheel Alignment is necessary when:

-

Vehicle shows handling problems.

-

Involved in an accident.

-

Axle components were removed.

-

Tire wear patterns are uneven.

NOTE:

-

Wheel alignment must only be performed using VW/ Audi-approved wheel alignment equipment!

-

Each time wheels are aligned, both front and rear wheels must be aligned.

-

Otherwise correct vehicle performance is not guaranteed and an off center steering wheel may exist.

-

Wheels should not be aligned until the vehicle has been driven 1,000 km - 2,000 km, since it takes this long for the suspension to settle.

-

The individual specifications should be followed as exactly as possible when making adjustments.

Test Requirements:

-

Tread depth difference may be no more than 2 mm on an axle. 

-

Tires inflated to correct pressure.

-

Be sure that sliding plates and turn tables are not touching end stop when checking wheel alignment.

-

Vehicle empty weight "Empty weight means: The weight of the vehicle ready for the road (completely filled fuel tank, and windshield washer fluid
reservoir, spare tire, vehicle tool kit, vehicle jack) and no driver."

-

Spare wheel, vehicle tools and vehicle jack must be located in the position specified by the vehicle manufacturer.

-

Vehicle accurately aligned, suspension bounced and rocked several times.

-

Check suspension, steering and steering linkage for excessive play and damage, repair if necessary.

-

Perform wheel run-out compensation: Permissible axial runout of the wheel rims can exceed the specified to setting tolerance. If compensation for
wheel run-out is not performed, it will not be possible to obtain a correct toe-in adjustment.
