General
Notes:
^
Vehicle alignment should not be checked before the vehicle has completed 1000 to 2000 km (600 to 1200 miles) as the coil springs have had time
to settle.

The cause of vehicle imbalance may also be excessive residual wheel imbalance and/or vertical wheel runout.

When making adjustments the relevant specifications are to be adhered to as close as possible.
The vehicle alignment should be measured using VW/AUDI approved wheel alignment equipment!
