Alignment procedure for cars produced by the
VOLKSWAGEN - AUDI group equipped with
MULTILINK front suspensions (AUDI A4, A6 and

the suspension.
If the aligner has the appropriate procedure
enabled, it is recalled automatically for cars
which require it. A special tool is needed to
check and adjust the toe curve (refer to the cars'
service manuals).
Below, only the differences from the standard
procedure, which all occur in the vehicle adjust-
