The lateral run-out of the rims must be balanced: otherwise, the measurements will be falsified:

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

Follow the operating instructions provided by the manufacturer of the alignment equipment.

-- Carry out wheel run-out compensation.

-- Insert the Brake Pedal Actuator:V.A.G 1869/2  .

-- Actuate the brake pedal using brake pedal actuator.
