shocks and springs

Post by HobsonS4 » Fri Feb 09, 2007 9:21 pm

All been well at the weekend i wil be buying some H&R springs along with some original Audi shocks off the devil himself! Having never changed suspension before im not so sure about wheel alignment. will i need the wheels tracking after i change these parts or should the new ones live in the exact same place?

Bang em on and off you go or in other words - alignment not necessary.

That said, alignment wouldn't hurt - although it shouldn't be affected by this work, it could already be out.

I could have sworn my last S4 was aligned (it drove fine so I thought) but it was infinitely better after it was done.

Audis are cheaper than women, and when they finally leave they don't take your kids and half your stuff....
although smack either one about and the police turn up ;-)

i wore the insides of my brand new tyres bald in 2.5k after doing the shocks and springs..

much cheaper to pay less than £100 for laser alignment than buy two new tyres..

go for the alignment - my 2p

True - it doesn't hurt to get your wheels aligned - always a good thing to keep maintained
