Measurement Preparations For Axle Alignment - Complete Alignment Mode
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 9 other vehicles, including the 2022 Audi S5 Sportback, 2022 Audi RS 5 Sportback, 2022 Audi RS 5, 2022 Audi A5 Sportback, and 2021 Audi S5 Sportback. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Special tools and workshop equipment required
- Wheel Alignment Computer released by VW/Audi
- Vehicle Diagnostic Tester
- Brake Pedal Actuator: VAG1869/2 .
- Steering Wheel Scales: VAS6458
The mode "complete alignment" must be selected on the Wheel Alignment Computer if an axle alignment must be performed together with the driver assist systems adjustment/calibration.
Measurement Preparations
- Drive the vehicle onto the alignment rack without tension. Move the vehicle back and forth if necessary to relieve any tension on the axle components.
- Switch off the ignition when the vehicle has come to a stop.
- Vehicle accurately aligned, suspension bounced and rocked several times
- The steering wheel must be "evened out" into the center position before beginning the measuring and adjusting. Use : VAS6458 for this.
- Make sure that the sliding plates and turn tables are not touching the end stop when checking the wheel alignment.
- The measurement sensor must be properly adjusted and attached to the vehicle; observe device manufacturer's operating instructions.
- Perform wheel run-out compensation: permissible axial run-out of the wheel 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.
- The alignment rack and wheel alignment computer can deviate from their original calibration over time; therefore, they should be calibrated at least once a year during maintenance.
- Handle highly sensitive units with care.
- If necessary, contact the manufacturer for instruction on the proper use of the equipment.
