Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: Wheel runout compensation

Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual / Running gear, axles, steering / Wheels, tyres, axle align / Wheel alignment / Wheel runout compensation

If run-out compensation is not performed, it is not possible to adjust toe-in correctly!

The existing lateral run-out of the wheel must be compensated for. Otherwise, the result of the measurement will be incorrect.

The specified toe-in tolerance may already be exceeded by the permitted amount of axial runout at the wheel rims. In such cases it is not possible to set the toe-in correctly without first compensating for the wheel runout.

Please follow the instructions of the manufacturer of the wheel alignment equipment.
