5.1 General Information
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 drivability cannot be ensured.
Note
♦ Wheels should not be aligned 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.
5.2 When Vehicle Alignment is Necessary
♦ Vehicle shows handling problems.
♦ Involved in an accident.
♦ Axle components were removed.
♦ Tire wear patterns are uneven.
