Axle Alignment Information

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2017 Audi A3 Quattro, 2017 Audi A3, 2016 Audi A3 Quattro, 2016 Audi A3, and 2015 Audi A3 Quattro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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!

NOTE:

Do not carry out axle alignment until the vehicle has been driven 1, 000-2, 000 km (621-1243 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.

WARNING:

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.

WARNING:

If vehicle will be driving on the streets, all screws and nuts must be tightened properly!

WARNING:

Danger of personal injury caused by the engine starting automatically on vehicles with the Start/Stop System.

When the Start/Stop System is on (recognizable by a message in the instrument cluster), the engine may start automatically.
Make sure the Start/Stop System is disabled when working on the vehicle (turn off ignition, if needed, turn the ignition back on).
