Maximum Steering Angle, Checking

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2018 Audi S6, 2018 Audi A6 Quattro, 2018 Audi A6, 2017 Audi S6, and 2017 Audi A6 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Wheel Alignment Computer Determines The Maximum Steering Angle.

-- If the maximum steering angle has been determined on the alignment equipment, so that the value is not within the tolerance, then check for damage or deformations to the steering and suspension components and inspect the symmetry of the ties rod. In this case, shorten the "longer" tie rod end (install it deeper into the tie rod) and replace any damaged components.

-- If a crooked steering wheel position was determined on the alignment equipment when setting the center position of the steering, then check the steering and suspension components for damage or deformations and replace any damaged components. Check the tie rod symmetry as well.

-- Measure dimension -a- on the "shorter" tie rod head. Shorten the "longer" tie rod head to the same dimension. To do this, install the tie rod end -1- deeper into the tie rod -2-.

Dimension -a- of right tie rod end = dimension -a- of left tie rod end; maximum permissible difference between right and left < 2.5 mm.

-- When the steering wheel returns to its center position, let the steering wheel "come to its center" using even movements.
