Overview of the work sequence for vehicle alignment
Overview of the work sequence for vehicle alignment
The following sequence of work steps must always be respected!
1 - Determine what chassis has been mounted in the vehicle. This information can be found on the vehicle data sticker → Chapter.
2 - Perform a rim runout compensation.
3 - Deflect the vehicle.
4 - Position brake pedal load e.g. -V.A.G 1869/2-.
5 - Measure vehicle height → Chapter.
6 - Before the chassis alignment and the adjustment of the steering geometry, lock the steering wheel in the middle position of the height adjustment of steering wheel.
7 - Set the centre position of the gear rack at the steering wheel and fix the steering wheel (an even clearance circle to both sides is assured by means of the centre position of the gear rack). If the steering wheel is off straight, it must be positioned straight at the end of the chassis alignment.
8 - Check camber on front axle, if necessary adjust → Chapter.
9 - Check camber on rear axle, if necessary adjust → Chapter.
10 - Check tracking on rear axle, if necessary adjust → Chapter.
11 - Check the castor on the front axle.
12 - Check the track on the front axle, if necessary adjust → Chapter.
  Note
The following always applies! Always check the transversal inclination of the vehicle before adjustment if one of the measuring values is outside the tolerance.
