Four-Wheel Alignment Service

Why is Four-Wheel Alignment Important?

A four-wheel alignment is critical tire maintenance because it protects your tire investment and ultimately helps advance safety. When you keep all four tires at alignment specifications, the tires are pointed properly, turn parallel to one another properly, and the tires' tread gripping the road properly. When this happens, it helps create a smooth driving experience, tires last longer, and long-term operational costs are reduced. 

The Progressively Worsening Symptoms of Wheel Misalignment

When you purchased your Volkswagen, it had wheel alignment at specifications. Since then, you've slammed into a pothole or two, nudged curbs parking, and might have logged sufficient mileage for the steering components to wear.

With all of these factors known to cause misalignment, every vehicle will eventually experience a misalignment condition. When this happens, the first observable warning is rapid tire wear. If rapid wear is not identified and corrected, it will worsen to cause worse symptoms and consequences. Here is a list of the progressive symptoms of wheel misalignment:

• The steering wheel is crooked yet the vehicle drives straight
• Vehicle pulls to a side with a centered steering wheel
• Rapid tire wear caused by misalignment's concentrated tire pressures
• The unpleasant driving experience caused by shaking or vibrations at speed
• Tires require inflation due to losing pressure
• Tire blowout
