Vehicle Alignment

Vehicle alignment
General

Note:
- Vehicle alignment should not be checked before the vehicle has completed 1000 to 2000 km (600 to 1200 miles) as the coil springs have had time to settle.
- The cause of vehicle imbalance may also be excessive residual wheel imbalance and/or vertical wheel runout
- When making adjustments the relevant specifications are to be adhered to as close as possible.

- The vehicle alignment should be measured using VW/AUDI approved wheel alignment equipment!
- When measuring, the front and rear axles must be measured every time.
- Otherwise the proper running characteristics of the vehicle cannot be ensured!





Steering wheel and steering column are marked.
These positions must not be changed!
A - Line on steering wheel
B - Punch mark on steering column
Only then the center position on the rack can be guaranteed!

Vehicles with electronic stabilization program

CAUTION: If the steering wheel is moved on these vehicles, the basic setting for the steering angle sensor must be checked!

- Perform basic setting in "guided fault finding" using VAS 5051.

Note: Start "guided fault finding" by pressing the "Go to" button in "Select function/component".

Wheel alignment must be checked if:
- Not handling properly.
