Measurement preparations

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 17 other vehicles, including the 2009 Audi S4, 2009 Audi A4, 2008 Audi S4, 2008 Audi RS 4, and 2008 Audi A4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Special tools and workshop equipment required 

Rim run-out compensation 

The lateral run-out of the wheel must be compensated for. Otherwise, measurement will result in false readings. 

A correct toe-in adjustment will not be possible without performing lateral run-out compensation!
