OEM Linking Pin: Wheel Alignment - Audi ADAS Clarification
I-CAR · October 21, 2021 · Audi
Summary
This article clarifies Audi's requirements for wheel alignments prior to ADAS calibrations, establishing that the thrust angle must always be true before calibrating. Depending on the repair scope, Audi requires either a complete wheel alignment (e.g., after suspension work) or a quick access alignment check (e.g., after bumper cover removal or replacement).
What to do on the job
Ensure the vehicle's thrust angle is verified as true using either a complete alignment or a quick access check before performing any ADAS calibration on an Audi vehicle.
How to use it
Use this document to justify billing for a wheel alignment or a quick access alignment check prior to ADAS calibration. If a bumper cover was removed, repaired, or replaced, use this to defend the necessity of a quick access check to verify the thrust angle before calibrating front-facing ADAS sensors.
