Vehicle Transverse Inclination, "Zero Position; Work Procedure Overview For Vehicle Alignment - Volkswagen Jetta 2011 Repair Manual

8.9 Vehicle Transverse Inclination, "Zero
Position"
If the measured values are outside the allowed tolerances, the
cause may be an incorrect vehicle attitude.
Vehicles with automatic transmission can lean to one side slightly.
This is due to the installation position of the assemblies and the
corresponding weight transfer and is normal.
– It is absolutely necessary to measure dimension -a- on left and
right sides.
– Correct any differences if necessary.
It is possible to correct trim height imbalance for front axle by
adding weight to top of strut tower through the engine compart‐
ment.
To correct trim height imbalance for rear axle add weight to top
of strut tower through the trunk compartment.
For example, sand bags of approximately 10 kg (22 lb) are suit‐
able as weights.
