Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Setting vehicle to initial position for wheel alignment
| If measured values are outside specified tolerances, this
may be because the vehicle is inclined. |
| Right-hand drive vehicles or e.g. vehicles with an automatic
gearbox may lean to one side slightly. |
| This is due to the installation position of the assemblies
and their associated weight transfer and is normal. |
| – |
In such cases it is essential to measure dimension
-a- at the rear on both sides. |
| – |
Correct any differences as required. |
| On the front axle, compensate by adding weights to the top
of the respective suspension turret. |
| On the rear axle, compensate by adding weights to the
respective side of the luggage compartment. |
| Sand-filled sacks (weighing approx. 10 kg) are suitable for
this. |

These specifications apply to all engines.
