Did the dealer have to do a 4 wheel alignment afterword?

I'm hoping it fixed mine. They've had the car at the dealer for 2 days and have done all of the road force balancing, now they are just waiting on approval for the lower control arms from Audi. I know they are backordered several weeks but that's fine.

I actually had my car in with the wheel spacers on and they have not noticed them or they didn't care. So I'm happy about that.

I'm thinking that if they do have to do a 4 wheel alignment then I'll go ahead and put on the Eibach springs. I'm pretty sure they won't see the difference between the stock ones the Eibach's.

My Car was in to the dealer over the weekend and today they told me even with new control arms the vibration is still present. They are looking at swapping out the tires to see if that helps. Did anyone else get new control arms but did not fix the issue?

Taking my car in this week too. What do I have to do to make them order the control arms? I mean what if they were able to temporarily resolve the vibrations with road force balancing?

After the dealer took my car out for a road test, they tried to road force balancing but it did not solve the issue. They then ordered the control arms but they were on back order so I had to wait about a month before I could get them replaced.
