I have replaced all the control arms and tie rods on my front suspension. How does the caster and camber get aligned?

I read that you can play a bit with the subframe. Is that the only way? My shop (not an Audi shop) says they have orderd a kit for it. What's in the kit?

I have a 99.5 A4 1.8T Tiptronic with sports package.
Thanks.

 

lots of information on this link

Unfortunately, none of it applies to a 99.5 A4. I already googled it myself.

Only for TT as well.

 

Wheel alignment[/align]Raising vehicle with running gear 1BA, 1BB, 1BC, 1BD, 1BE, 1BP, 1BQ, 1BT, 1BV, RS4[/align]When performing the next operation, it must be ensured that the wheels remain in contact with the turntables whilst raising the vehicle.
Should contact be lost, the turntables are not to be moved, as this would bias the measurement result.

‒Position axle lift at front jacking points and raise vehicle. [/ul]
Note:
Vehicle is raised by 60 mm.










‒→ Extend cylinders in threaded stems and fix in position with locking pins. [/ul]

Make sure locking pins -arrows- are correctly positioned. [/ul]

‒Lower vehicle onto spacer gauge V.A.G 1925. [/ul]

So a special tool is required? (VAG 1925)

 

Wheel alignment[/align]Adjusting toe constant "S"[/align]










‒→ Unfasten hexagon nut -A-.
‒Screw out bolt -B- approx. 4 mm.
‒Press down track rod joint as far as it will go. [/ul]











‒→ Screw in bolt -B- until exact specification is attained.
‒Tighten hexagon nut -A-and check value. [/ul]
Tighten torques:wheel bearing housing:
wheel bearing housing steel 42 Nm
wheel bearing housing aluminium 50 Nm

‒Tighten bolt -B- to 7 Nm.
‒Lower vehicle back into initial position.
‒Screw down threaded stem.
‒Bounce vehicles with standard running gear several times. [/ul]
Checking toe constant following adjustment
The wheel alignment equipment now re-checks the toe constant.
Setting is OK if measured values in re-check are within tolerance for check value.
If measured values are not within tolerance for check value, re-adjustment must be performed in raised position.

Wheel alignment[/align]Adjusting front axle toe[/align]










‒Unfasten lock nut -B-.
‒→ Adjust toe in each case at left and right wheel with hexagon -A-. [/ul]
Make sure bellows are not twisted after turning track rods

as twisted bellows soon become worn. [/ul]

‒Tighten lock nut -B- to 40 Nm and check toe-in value again. [/ul]
Value set may deviate slightly after tightening lock nut -B-.
Setting is however correct if measured toe value is within tolerance

I suppose you could hire the tool of fabricate it
