ALIGNING CARS WITH
MULTILINK SUSPENSIONS
Alignment procedure for cars produced by the
VOLKSWAGEN - AUDI group equipped with MUL-
TILINK front suspensions (AUDI A4, A6 and A8,
VW PASSAT). It allows checking and adjustment of
the "toe curve", i.e. the variation in the toe value
generated by a known extension of the suspension.
If the aligner has the appropriate procedure ena-
bled, 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-
ment stage, are described.
1) Angle measurement with steering locked to
10° or 20°.
2) Steering wheel position.
3) Data summary.
4) Steering wheel centring and front camber
adjustment.
5) Rear axle measurement.
6) Checking and adjustment of the "Toe curve".
7) Front toe adjustment.
8) Angle measurement with steering locked to
10° or 20°.
9) Print out of data measured.
(2) Steering wheel position
Indicate whether after angle measurement with

(4) Steering wheel centring and front
camber adjustment
Keeping the front wheels aligned, adjust the steer-
ing wheel and the front camber values.
(6) Checking and adjustment of the toe
S-Point Selection
Set the steering wheel straight and fit the steering
wheel clamp.
Check and adjust the toe curve,
only when the car no longer travels straight after
hitting a bump or a manhole cover, when pieces
of the suspension system have been replaced,
after an accident or when specifically required
by the manufacturer.
The toe curve checking and adjustment sequence
depends on the type of suspension installed on
the car: there are differences for cars with STAND-
ARD, SPORTS or ALL-TERRAIN chassis. Follow
the instructions on the screen for the operations
to be performed and the adapters to be fitted on
the checking tool.
