What Is a Four-Wheel Alignment?

A four-wheel alignment is complete when all four tires on your vehicle roll across the road in tandem at the appropriate angles. Components of alignment include the tilt of the wheel, how it sits in the wheel well, and how it strikes the pavement. Technically, wheel alignment problems are known as camber, caster, and toe. Camber looks at the angle of the wheel as viewed from the front of the car. Caster is the angle of your steering pivot from the side of the vehicle. Toe-in and toe-out wear means the tires are not parallel to each other any longer. To fix issues with alignment, technicians place the car on a rack to measure these components and make individual adjustments.

Why Do I Need to Align My Tires?

Tire alignment is necessary for a variety of reasons. Proper alignment means a smooth and comfortable ride. On the safety front, improper alignment is a hazard. When your car is not aligned properly, it leads to uneven wear on your tires. Uneven wear eventually leads to the impacted tires wearing down and requiring replacement more quickly. It can also lead to blowouts when motoring down the highway. Bad alignment also causes poor driving, such as your car veering in one direction while on the road, making driving a less comfortable driving experience.

How Often Do I Need a Wheel Alignment?

When you drive on smooth roadways, you may be able to avoid Volkswagen four-wheel alignment outside of your routine maintenance schedule. Consult the owner's manual for your specific model to determine how frequently an alignment is recommended. An average time range is every 12 months. However, the need for a wheel alignment can occur at any time, even within a few weeks or months of your last alignment. If you hit a pothole hard or bump into a curve or two, one or more of your wheels may need an adjustment. If you are in a wreck, you also need to visit our service department to ensure all wheels remain aligned.
