Every angle is set to Audi specification.
Don’t let bad alignment ruin your tyres. We precisely calibrate camber, caster and toe for all Audi models, including lane assist and air suspension, with a printed report to prove it.
Audi’s alignment tolerances are often measured in fractions of a degree, and Dubai’s roads work against that precision. Summer highs average around 43°C in the suburbs. Abu Dhabi traffic police have warned that friction between tyre and asphalt can push tyre temperatures to 55°C, raising the risk of a burst tyre.
A misaligned wheel makes this worse. It scrubs sideways instead of rolling cleanly, which adds heat and wears the tread unevenly. Dubai Police recorded 34 road deaths during the summer of 2024, up from 27 the year before, and named burst tyres among the top causes of summer accidents.
Wheel alignment affects three things you care about: tyre life, safety and how your Audi drives.
A 2024 study in the Journal of Engineering found that front toe misalignment can cut tyre travel life by up to 98% compared with correctly aligned wheels. The same study showed rolling resistance rising by about 129%, which means more fuel burned for every kilometre. With Audi tyres often costing well over AED 1,000 each, even a slight toe error gets expensive quickly.
Unevenly worn tyres build up more heat, and heat is the main cause of blowouts. Ministry of Interior figures show 65 accidents caused by tyre blowouts on UAE roads between 2023 and 2025, and tyre related crashes accounted for 2% of road deaths in 2024.
On Audis with lane assist, adaptive cruise control or pre sense, the front camera works out “straight ahead” from the car’s alignment. Alignment specialists have warned that lane keeping, adaptive cruise and collision warning systems can need recalibrating after an alignment. That’s why we check calibration on every equipped Audi before it leaves the workshop.
We measure all four wheels with computerized alignment equipment loaded with Audi’s factory specifications for your exact model and suspension. The system shows live readings as each angle is adjusted, so there’s no guesswork. You receive a before and after printout showing every measurement.
Wheel geometry covers every angle that controls how your tyres meet the road, including camber, caster, toe and thrust angle. We check each one against Audi tolerances and look for bent or worn parts that would stop the geometry holding. It’s the most complete way to diagnose pulling, wander and uneven tyre wear.
Most Audis, and every quattro model, need all four wheels aligned together, because the rear axle decides the direction the car actually travels. We set the rear first, then align the front to match its thrust line. This keeps the steering wheel centred and all four tyres wear evenly.
The front wheels steer the car, so their toe and camber have the biggest effect on handling and tyre wear. We adjust the front tie rods and, where the design allows, camber, then centre the steering wheel. Front alignment alone suits only some front wheel drive Audis with non adjustable rear axles.
Audi’s multilink rear suspension is adjustable on most models, and an out of spec rear axle makes the car “crab” down the road. We set rear toe and camber with the eccentric adjusters to factory values. This step is essential after rear suspension repairs or any hard impact to a rear wheel.
Camber is the inward or outward tilt of the wheel when viewed from the front. Too much shows up as wear on one edge of the tyre, which is common on lowered or heavily loaded Audis. Depending on the model, we adjust it through eccentric bolts, adjustable links or by repositioning the subframe.
Caster controls steering stability and how the wheel returns to centre after a turn. On most Audis it’s set at the factory and isn’t directly adjustable, so a wrong reading usually means a bent or worn part. We find and replace that part, then confirm the caster is back within Audi’s tolerance.
Toe is the angle at which the wheels point inward or outward when viewed from above, and it has the biggest effect on tyre wear. Even a small error makes the tyres scrub sideways with every turn of the wheel. We set toe precisely on both axles and lock the adjusters so the setting holds.
An unbalanced wheel causes vibration through the steering wheel or seat, usually between 100 and 120 km/h. We spin each wheel on a computerized balancer and fit weights to cancel out the imbalance, using adhesive weights to protect alloy rims. We also check for bent rims, which balancing alone can’t fix.
Tyre alignment is another name for wheel alignment, and it’s the best way to protect a new set of Audi tyres. We recommend an alignment every time new tyres are fitted, so they start life wearing evenly. We also rotate tyres where the sizes allow, to spread the wear further.
Many Audis leave the factory on tyres developed specifically for them, marked “AO” (Audi Original) or “RO1” on RS models. These tyres are matched to the car’s suspension and stability systems, and correct alignment is what lets them reach their full tread life. When you buy Audi tyres in Dubai, it pays to align the car at the same time.
Dubai’s heat makes tyre care even more important:
Misalignment rarely announces itself all at once. These are the most common signs we see on Audis that come in for an alignment check:
| What you notice | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| Car pulls to one side on a straight road | Toe or camber difference between left and right |
| Steering wheel off centre when driving straight | Toe out of specification, or steering angle not reset |
| Inner or outer tyre edges wearing faster | Excess camber or toe |
| Feathered, saw tooth feel across the tread | Toe set incorrectly |
| Vibration at 100 to 120 km/h | Wheel imbalance or a bent rim |
| Steering feels vague or doesn’t return to centre | Caster out of specification, or worn suspension parts |
| Lane assist steering the car slightly off line | Alignment changed without camera calibration |
If you notice any of these, book a check before the next tyre change. Getting the alignment fixed first protects the new tyres from the same wear.
Book an Audi wheel alignment check:
Every 10,000 km, or at least once a year
Whenever new tyres are fitted
After hitting a pothole, kerb or speed bump hard
After suspension or steering repairs, such as control arms, tie rods or shock absorbers
When you notice pulling, an off centre steering wheel or uneven tyre wear
After lowering the car or fitting different wheels
Worn parts stop an alignment from holding, so we check the suspension before every adjustment. If a part needs replacing, our Audi suspension repair and Audi steering repair teams fix it first, so the new alignment lasts.
Some Audis need extra steps that a basic tyre shop can miss:
A full four wheel alignment is needed to keep the front and rear axles working together and the steering centred.
Cars such as the A6 allroad, A8, Q7 and Q8 must be set to the correct ride height through diagnostics before measuring, or the readings will be wrong.
The front camera and radar may need calibrating after the alignment, so the systems steer and brake correctly.
We reset it after every alignment, so the stability control and electric power steering read “straight ahead” correctly.
Book your Audi wheel alignment online, by phone or on WhatsApp in minutes. Our team can collect your car from anywhere in Dubai.
We inspect tyres, pressures, suspension joints and steering parts before measuring anything. Worn or bent components are reported to you before any adjustment begins.
Your Audi goes onto our alignment rig, which reads every wheel angle in real time. The readings are compared against Audi’s exact specifications for your model.
Our technicians adjust the rear axle first, then set the front to match. Camber, caster and toe are brought within Audi’s tolerance on every wheel.
The steering angle sensor is reset using diagnostic equipment after every alignment. Driver assistance cameras and radar are then checked and calibrated if required.
A technician road tests the car to confirm it tracks straight with a centred wheel. You receive a printed before and after report showing every measured angle.
A front only alignment takes less time than a full four wheel geometry check. Quattro and most modern Audis need all four wheels aligned together.
Worn bushes, ball joints or tie rods must be replaced before the alignment can hold. Any extra parts and labour are quoted separately for approval.
Audis with adaptive air suspension need the ride height set through diagnostics first. This extra step adds a little time to the overall job.
Cars with lane assist or adaptive cruise may need camera and radar calibration afterwards. Calibration requires special targets and adds to the final quote.
Combining balancing with alignment costs less than booking both services on separate visits. Bent rims needing repair are quoted as a separate item.
We align to Audi’s own factory data for your exact model, not generic figures.
All four wheels are aligned, with the thrust line set correctly on every quattro.
Steering angle sensor resets, air suspension level setting and ADAS checks are all done in house.
We show you worn parts before replacing anything, with photos and a clear quote.
Our team also handles Audi brake repair, and a full alignment check is part of every Audi pre purchase inspection.
We recommend an alignment check every 10,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. You should also align the car after fitting new tyres, hitting a pothole or kerb hard, or replacing suspension or steering parts. Regular checks protect your tyres and keep the car tracking straight.
Alignment adjusts the angles of the wheels so they point in the right direction and meet the road correctly. Balancing evens out the weight around each wheel and tyre to stop vibration at speed. Both affect tyre wear, so they’re often done at the same time.
Most Audis do, especially quattro models and those with multilink rear suspension. The rear axle sets the direction the car travels, so aligning only the front can leave the steering wheel off centre. A four wheel alignment sets both axles to work together.
If your Audi has lane assist, adaptive cruise control or pre sense, the front camera may need calibrating after the alignment. The system relies on the car’s driving direction to read the road correctly. We check every equipped Audi and calibrate when needed.
A standard four wheel alignment usually takes about one hour. Cars with air suspension, ADAS calibration or worn parts needing replacement can take longer. We confirm the timing when you book, and you can wait or use our pickup service.
Alignment stops uneven wear from getting worse, but it can’t restore tread that’s already worn away. Tyres with heavy edge wear may need replacing for safety. Aligning the car first protects the new tyres from wearing the same way.
Pulling after an alignment can come from a tyre problem, such as uneven wear or a faulty tyre, or from a sticking brake caliper. Worn suspension parts can also let the geometry shift. We road test the car and track down the cause before it leaves the workshop.
