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.
