Axle Alignment Information
Wheel alignment must only performed using VW/Audi-approved wheel alignment equipment.
The wheel alignment computer has all the information for the vehicle alignment.
Each time wheels are aligned, both front and rear wheels must be aligned.
Otherwise, proper vehicle driveability cannot be ensured.
Otherwise centering of toothed shaft cannot be guaranteed!
Do not carry out axle alignment until the vehicle has been driven 1, 000 to 2, 000 km (621 to 1242 miles) in order to allow the coil springs to settle.
The individual specifications should be followed as exactly as possible when making adjustments.
Vehicle instability can also be caused by the wheels having a residual imbalance and/or radial run-out which is too great.
If the vehicle has ESP or ABS, calibrate the Steering Angle Sensor -G85- using the Vehicle Diagnostic Tester after doing any adjusting on the suspension.
If vehicle will be driving on the streets, all bolts and nuts must be tightened properly!
There is a risk of injury if the engine starts automatically in vehicles with a Start/Stop System.
- For vehicles with an activated Start/Stop System (recognizable by a message in the instrument cluster), the engine may start automatically as needed.
- Make sure that the Start/Stop System is deactivated when working on the vehicle (turn off the ignition, turn on the ignition when necessary).
