Road Test, Performing Before Balancing
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 13 other vehicles, including the 2017 Audi SQ5, 2017 Audi Q5, 2016 Audi SQ5, 2016 Audi Q5, and 2015 Audi SQ5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
If a vehicle comes to the workshop with the complaint vibration, a road test must be performed before balancing the wheels.
- That way, information about the type of vibration can be obtained.
- Observe at which speed range the disturbance takes place.
-- Raise the vehicle on the platform immediately after the road test.
-- Mark the installation position on the tire.
-- Remove wheels from vehicle.
CAUTION:
If brake pads are ceramics, wheel must not fall on brake disc, otherwise it will be irreparably damaged. To remove/install wheel, install long assembly pin instead of wheel bolts in top position (12:00 position) and short assembly pin in wheel bolt mounts for support. In this way, the wheel can glide on the assembly aids when removing/installing.
-- Balance the wheels.
