Axle Alignment Information
Wheel alignment must only performed using approved alignment tester.
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.
Current data >>Updates<< are stored on VW - ServiceNet.
Refer to the appropriate Service Information.
A wheel alignment should not be done until the vehicle has been driven 2, 000 km (1, 242.7 miles), since it takes this long for the springs to settle.
The individual specifications should be set 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.
This already causes the steering support to 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.
