Volkswagen Golf Service & Repair Manual: 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. |
