Alignment: Tools and Equipment



Measurement preparations

Special tools and workshop equipment required

^ Wheel alignment computer VAG 1813
^ Brake pedal actuator VAG 1869/2
^ Bolt for steering centering VAS 6224
^ Spacer unit VAG 1925

Rim run-out compensation

The lateral run-out of the wheel must be compensated for. Otherwise, measurement will result in false readings.

A correct toe-in adjustment will not be possible without performing lateral run-out compensation!

- Carry out wheel run-out compensation. For this, observe notes by manufacturer of wheel alignment equipment.





- Install brake pedal loading device VAG 1869/2.
