Wheel Alignment Measurement Preparations

Special tools, testers and auxiliary items required

• Brake Pedal Actuator (V.A.G 1869/2)

• Steering Wheel Scales (VAS 6458)

• Wheel Alignment Computer released by VW/Audi

• The measurement sensor must be properly adjusted and attached to the vehicle; observe device manufacturer's operating instructions.

• Make sure that the sliding plates and turn tables are not touching the end stop when checking the wheel alignment.

• Drive the vehicle onto the alignment rack without tension. Move the vehicle back and forth if necessary to relieve any tension on the axle components.

• The steering wheel must be "evened out" into the center position before beginning the measuring and adjusting. Use (VAS 6458) for this.
