Wheel alignment values, air springs
Adjusting the front axle
The front axle of the Macan can be adjusted as follows:
- Toe: Adjustment using the tie rod
- Camber: Adjustment by moving the front-axle carrier (necessary if max. difference from left to right is exceeded)
- Caster: Cannot be adjusted!
For a detailed description, see → 449503 SUSPENSION ALIGNMENT, COMPLETE .
- Unexpected vehicle handling
- Steering-angle sensor does not function
- Malfunction in steering-angle sensor
→ After working on wheel suspension parts, when replacing the steering-angle sensor, and after changing the wheel alignment values, calibrate the steering-angle sensor using PIWIS Tester 3 9900 .
→ Keep the front wheels in straight-ahead position on the measuring platform during calibration.
→ For vehicles with electromechanical steering, also re-teach the electric steering lock settings.
- The following values relate to the empty weight, i.e. full fuel tank, vehicle with spare wheel (collapsible wheel) and tools, but without driver and without additional weights .
- Tyre pressure in accordance with specifications .
- The toe-difference angle value is also influenced by the vehicle height. For this reason the measured result must be evaluated accordingly. No action is necessary in the case of small deviations from the toe-difference angle's required value as long as the value to the right and left is almost the same .
