Code All All VIN Range From VIN Range To All All Four Wheel Alignment and Vehicle Drift-Pull Overview This Technical Bulletin provides an overview for performing vehicle four Wheel Alignment, and information on improving vehicle drift/pull using selective tire placement. The information provided is based on the Hunter alignment equipment, Hunter GSP9700 with StraightTrak® (VAS 6230x ) and John Bean RFV2000 with OptiLine (VAS 6311A) diagnostic balancer. The alignment information provided in this bulletin is not limited to the Hunter alignment equipment, and still applies with the use of other Volkswagen approved alignment equipment. The diagnostic procedure for selective tire placement, to improve vehicle drift/pull, will require the use of one of the diagnostic balancers previously mentioned. Production Solution: Extensive analysis was conducted by Volkswagen for concerns of vehicle drift/pull and it has been determined that this condition is NOT caused by any production issues with the vehicle’s steering or suspension systems. The main contributors for these concerns are tire pull and road surface tilt (road crown). Tire pull is a natural condition of radial tire construction and road surfaces are tilted for water drainage. The intent of the information provided in this bulletin is to optimize the straight ahead tracking of the vehicle for customer satisfaction. 87 13 01 - 2005566 Supersedes Technical Bulletin V871204 dated April 26, 2012 to update Passat vendor code in the warranty table.
