Wheel Alignment

Hi

I'm looking for some clarification on Toe In specifications for an Audi A4. The Bentley repair manual quotes +10' +/- 2', whereas when I had the tracking checked on a 4 wheel alignment laser rig their figures suggested between 0.5 and 1.6 degrees - seems quite a wide tolerance and doesn't agree with the Bentley info.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Geoff

Bentley manual specs are in Radians. Gotta do conversion. Sorry can't recall my HS maths.

Easy as....errr......pi,

2*pi (3.14....etcetc....22/7 for those with cheap calculators) radians = 360 degrees (full circle) Cheers! Steve Sears 1987 Audi 5kTQ 1980 Audi 5k 1962 and '64 Auto Union DKW Junior deLuxes (SPAM Blocker NOTE: Remove SHOES to reply)

Found this a while back and fortunately saved it:

A4 Front

Camber: -0°25' - -1°15'

Toe: 0°05' - 0°15'

Rear

Camber: -0°10' - -1°10'

Toe: 0°03' - 0°13'

Those are degrees and minutes - 60 minutes equals 1 degree. Cheers! Steve Sears

Hi

Thanks for your comments. I had assumed that the Bentley figures were in 'minutes' being 1/60 of a degree. The figures you have responded with align more or less with the bentley specs but this still results in a discrepancy with my local tyre shop. 0.5 degrees would be 30 minutes which is a bit higher than bentley spec.

I may check with my Audi Main Dealer and get their opinion but otherwise will see how tyres wear. If problems occur I'll complain to tyre shop.

Thanks
