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.

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
