The wheels on your Volkswagen play a vital role in keeping you comfortable and safe as you drive. As such, wheel alignment is crucial. If the wheels on your VW are not correctly aligned, come to Legend Volkswagen for wheel alignment service. Find out more about this service here; then, visit Legend Volkswagen to see why drivers from Massapequa, Lindenhurst, and beyond choose us for VW service.
A two-wheel alignment (also known as a front-end alignment) involves aligning your vehicle’s front wheels. When you come to Legend Volkswagen for this service, our technicians will check the front suspension. In addition, they will check the camber, toe, and caster angles of your wheels. The camber angle refers to the way your wheels tilt when viewed from the front or rear. If the wheels are leaning inward at the top and outward at the bottom, it’s called negative camber; the opposite is positive camber. The toe angle is similar, except the wheels are viewed from above or below. Wheels that tilt inwards at the front are said to have toe-in, while toe-out is the opposite. Finally, the camber angle refers to the difference between a vertical line and the steering axis.
All three of these angles should be precisely aligned according to factory specifications. Our technicians will use precision instruments to check these angles — and to bring them back into alignment if needed.
Your VW will generally need a two-wheel alignment if it has a solid rear axle, while an independent rear suspension will require all-wheel alignment. If you’re not sure which one your VW has, we can help!
The wheels on your VW can become misaligned if you run over a curb, hit a large pothole, or are in a collision. However, even the bumps and jolts of daily driving can cause your wheels to become misaligned. This is why we recommend regular wheel alignment inspections at Legend Volkswagen.
When your VW is due for a two-wheel alignment service, we are here to help!
