Wheel Run-Out Compensation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2024 Audi SQ7, 2024 Audi Q7, 2023 Audi SQ7, and 2023 Audi Q7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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

The lateral run-out of the wheel must be balanced (compensated for). Otherwise, the measurement result will be false.

The permitted axial run-out of the rims can exceed the specified toe setting tolerance. If compensation for wheel run-out is not performed, it will not be possible to obtain a correct toe-in adjustment.

Follow the operating instructions provided by the manufacturer of the alignment equipment.

The vehicle is equipped with an electronically controlled 8-speed automatic transmission. For this reason pay attention to the following for the wheel run-out compensation: if the engine is switched off in the N selector lever position, the transmission remains in N for approximately 30 minutes and then automatically engages in P . As soon as the driver door is opened, P is directly engaged. Refer to the operating instructions in the appropriate Service Information.
