Wheel alignment tolerances
Apologies if this is in the wrong forum.
I have a A4 cabriolet 2.5tdi sport V6. I Just bought it, it has 235 65 r17's fitted. I just had it in to the garage to check rear suspension and get tracking checked as was driving weird and turned out it needed a new osr upper suspension arm. Got that done yesterday however whereby 3 wheels will align to Audi's set tolerances this one wheel won't! With the old arm it read 4.6 degrees, with the new arm they got it down to 1.47 degrees but it won't adjust in more than that, there are no signs the vehicle has ever been in an accident and it isn't recorded as being so! I understand from what the garage says the tolerance for the rear is 0.33? I was told to just fit a new tyre there and live with it but is 1 degree a massive amount?
What do you experts think?
