Bringing Vehicle Into Initial Position For Alignment (Suspension Variations 1BY)

Due to the different alignment platforms, it may be necessary to raise vehicle at front axle so that it is possible to insert VAG1925 spacer. After vehicle is lowered, it should be bottomed out.

Insert Spacer (VAG 1925) using Spacer Adapters (VAG 1925/3 or 1925/4) and Adapter (VAG 1925/6). See Figure .
Unscrew both threaded spindles until they just come to rest against front bolts of carrier. See Figure . Vehicle MUST NOT be raised as a result of this. Vehicle is now in initial position.
At this point, alignment program checks whether existing toe-in per wheel corresponds to specified value of +10' +/-30' (rough pre-adjustment). If toe is not as specified, adjust toe-in to specification. See TOE ADJUSTMENT (FRONT)

NOTE: When raising vehicle, ensure that wheels do not lose contact with turntables. If wheels lose contact measurements will be incorrect.

Place lifting jacks under front end jacking points and lift vehicle 2.4" (60 mm). With vehicle lifted as specified, push cylinder from threaded spindles and fix with safety bolts. See Figure . Ensure that safety bolts are correctly positioned. Lower vehicle onto Spacer (VAG 1925). Observe and compare toe-in constant "S" measurement on alignment computer to specifications. See WHEEL ALIGNMENT SPECIFICATIONS .
If toe-in constant "S" measurement is as specified, check toe-in. See TOE ADJUSTMENT (FRONT) . If toe-in constant "S" measurement is not as specified, adjust as necessary. See ADJUSTING TOE-IN CURVE (ALL MODELS) .
