Four wheel alignment

Just had my B6 S4 aligned at work.

but upon checking the data with the machine manufacturer, they claimed that the data was the same for the S4 from 2001- 2007

is this corrrect ?, car seems fine so far, just dont want it eating my new front tyres.

any actual data would be good , as I can compare it with the data on my machine.

Well we had an update to the alignment computer today, and I asked the technician about the `98-01 listing of the S4.

He said it was an error on the computer, and that it is indeed the same data for all. :) upto `07.

Had mine done at the stealers a couple of months ago, and the first time they did it, they tried to align using the B5 settings! Then when I pointed out that this wasn't actually my car (I have a B6), they did it with the B6/B7 A4 settings.

I'll dig out the figures if you want?

It would be interesting to compare figures.
if you still have them.

Hi mate,

sorry it's taken a while. Attached are my alignment reports. One is done incorrectly (the one labeled as an S4 97-03!), and has a lot of the values out of alignment, the correct one is labeled A4 [8E], 03-06, Sportsline (this is the suspension type).
