Wheel Alignment

Wheel Alignment

Wheel alignment must only performed using VW/Audi-approved wheel alignment equipment.

Each time wheels are aligned, both front and rear wheels must be aligned.

Otherwise, proper vehicle driveability cannot be ensured.

• Axle alignment should not be performed until the vehicle has been driven 1,000-2,000 km, since it takes this long for the suspension to settle.

• The individual specifications should be followed as exactly as possible when making adjustments.


After making adjustment to the front axle on vehicles with ESP or ABS, calibrate the steering angle sensor (G85) after vehicle alignment using the Vehicle Diagnosis, Testing and Information System (VAS 5051 B) in "Guided Functions".

When Vehicle Alignment is Necessary

• Vehicle shows handling problems.

• Involved in an accident.

• Axle components were removed.

• Tire wear patterns are uneven.
