Rear axle
Spacers between the bodywork and the sub-
frame mountings on the front and rear axles
serve to raise the body by 25 mm and
increase the ground clearance.
The upper transverse link has been modified
in shape and adapted to the air spring shock
absorber, and has been reinforced.
In the case of the (steel) wheel carriers, the
pivot point of the upper transverse link has
been raised to optimise the wheel clearance.
As a result, the modified kinematics result in
improved driving dynamics.
The track rod is made of wrought aluminium
to give greater rigidity and improved tracking
stability.
The brake cover plate has been adapted to
accommodate the wheel carrier. The
attachment points have been acoustically
optimised.
The shape of the anti-roll bar has been
adapted to accommodate the air supply unit.
allroad quattro
Tightening of the links at the front and
rear axles must be carried out at
normal vehicle level.
Components of the allroad quattro
which could be easily confused with
standard components, are identified
with a brown dot.
The following example demonstrates
this concept:
The track rod could be confused with
that of the Audi S6.
To prevent contact corrosion, the
connection to the wheel carrier is fitted
with a steel bush.
