Vehicle alignment
Notes:
^ Vehicle alignment should not be checked before the vehicle has completed 1000 to 2000 km (600 to 1200 miles) so that the coil springs have had time to settle.
^ Vibrations can also be caused by excessive residual imbalance and/or vertical wheel runout.
The vehicle alignment should be measured using VW/AUDI approved wheel alignment equipment!
Wheel alignment checks must always include both the front and the rear axles.
Note:
^ When making adjustments the relevant specifications are to be adhered to as closely as possible.
^ Otherwise the proper running characteristics of the vehicle cannot be ensured!
A vehicle alignment must be performed if:
^ Not handling properly.
^ Involved in an accident.
^ Axle components have been replaced.
^ Tires wear on one side.
