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 |

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.
