What is a Four-Wheel Alignment?

A four-wheel alignment involves taking your Volkswagen to a certified professional to have the angles of your wheels aligned with each other and the roads you drive on. Your automobile has very exact specifications for aligning your wheels, and the various measurements for the camber, caster, and toe require expert service to be appropriately aligned. Without regular alignments, your car’s handling and wheel wear suffer, which can make driving unsafe and also cause your tires to wear out faster.

Why Do I Need to Align My Wheels?

As you drive in Needham, your car’s wheels can become misaligned due to a variety of factors. These factors can include accidents and involve less severe incidents such as hitting a curb too hard, hitting a particularly bad pothole, or simply the passage of time, causing components to wear out. Misaligned wheels should not be ignored as this can cause driving to become more difficult and dangerous. There is also a financial component as the increased tire tear increases upkeep expenses.

Signs a Four-Wheel Alignment is Needed

If your Volkswagen needs a four-wheel alignment, there will be various signs when driving in Newton. The most common signs of misaligned wheels include your car pulling in one direction, your steering wheel vibrating, your steering wheel not sitting in a centered position even when you're driving in a straight line, and uneven or increased tread wear. Notably, many of these symptoms can be very mild at first but get worse over time. Bad handling and unusual tire wear are signs your wheels could need a Volkswagen four-wheel alignment.
