    Alignment questions

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have really bad wear on the inner part of my rear tires. I have 25k on them and I have 17.5mm spacers. Do you recommend Audi to do the alignment or someplace like pep boys or town fair tire? Because I have spacers do I have to tell them to do something different so that I don't get premature wear on the inner part or should they just go to factory specs? Thanks

    I would definitely get the alignment done. Not sure Pep Boys would be the best place. Either spend the money at a dealership or find a good Audi/VW shop in your area. I'm lucky to have a really good Audi shop and they took care of my alignment for half of the cost of the dealership.

    Are you lowered or just spacers?

    The spacers shouldn't be much of a correction issue for these places then since they align it to stock specs but can account for spacers. If you get the car lowered, that's when you'll have to call around and find someone that has the 3D alignment to account for your new drop and not the stock specs.
