Axle Alignment Information

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2023 Volkswagen Atlas. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

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

Wheel alignment checks must always include both the front and rear axles.

-- Perform the alignment using the wheel alignment computer.

The wheel alignment computer has all the information for the vehicle alignment.

NOTE:

An alignment should not be done until the vehicle has been driven 1, 000 to 2, 000 km, since it takes this long for the coil springs to settle.

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

If adjustments were performed on the suspension, check if the driver assistance systems must be calibrated.

Vehicles Pulling to One Side and Vehicles Involved in An Accident

The cause for this could be that steering rack in steering gear does not stand exactly in the center when steering straight ahead.

The steering support may pull slightly to the left or to the right. The result is a vehicle which pulls to the side.

If a Vehicle is Aligned Due to a Complaint "vehicle pulls to one side or pulls askew", the Center Position of Steering Rack Must Always be Checked.
