Wheel Alignment



Wheel alignment

WARNING:
^ Do not re-use any fasteners that are worn or deformed in normal use.
^ Some fasteners are designed to be used only once, and are unreliable and may fail if used a second time. This includes, but is not limited to, nuts, bolts, washers, circlips and cotter pins. Always follow the recommendations in this manual-replace these fasteners with new parts where indicated, and any other time it is deemed necessary by inspection.


The wheel alignment should be measured using VW/Audi approved wheel alignment equipment.

Wheel alignment checks must always include both the front and the rear axles. Otherwise the proper running characteristics of the vehicle cannot be ensured.

Note:

^ The wheel alignment should not be checked before the vehicle has completed 1,000-2,000 km (600-1200 miles) so that the coil springs have time to settle.

^ When making adjustments, the relevant specifications should be adhered to as closely as possible.
