I have experience on hunter equipment, and regularly rectified alignment issues with cars that had recently had hunter alignment elsewhere.
From the print out above would anything indicate to you why my steering wheel would be misaligned - car drives straight but the wheel is now slightly to the right - if i straighten then im off to the left as if im changing motorway lanes.

Correct adjustment of the Left hand track rod should sort that

I have the same problem as Scottie 1979. Would I have to have this adjustment done at a dealership as I’ve heard when a rs6 with ACC and lane Assist has a four wheel alignment they need re calibrating.

I’ve had my car done twice in last year and my ACC and other aides all work fine.

I heard this too from the independent garage I use, and who also do the wheel alignment.

As said previously I’ve had mine done twice by a company in Dudley, and I’ve had no issues with my acc or other aides thereafter.

Just booked the car in at Audi for a four wheel alignment and no mention of the re calibration of the sensor/cameras. Just the price of the four wheel alignment. Maybe something has to be majorly wrong to have the re calibration done as well.
