Wheel Run-Out Compensation

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Audi SQ8, 2023 Audi RS Q8, and 2023 Audi Q8. 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.
