Wheel Run-Out Compensation

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2024 Audi SQ5, 2024 Audi Q5 e, 2024 Audi Q5, 2023 Audi SQ5, and 2023 Audi Q5 e. 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.

Equipped on models with 7-speed dual-clutch transmission or 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.
