Two-wheel alignment, also known as front wheel alignment, means the process of aligning the angles of the wheels’ casters, cambers, and toes towards the suspension system. A technician will use a special device to take a measurement of the angles; then they will make the proper adjustments. It’s crucial that this work is done by a true professional, and that’s what you’ll get when you bring your Jetta or Tiguan automobile to Carolina Volkswagen.
You would only need a Volkswagen two-wheel alignment with a 2WD vehicle. This is because there’s a fixed axle between the two wheels that don’t move. Those tires won’t have the opportunity to become misaligned.
Two-wheel alignment is only done on the front wheels. It typically includes the camber, caster, and toe adjustment. In some instances, the mechanic also could perform a thrust angle adjustment so that they determine all the wheels are square with each other.
Four-wheel alignment adjusts all the wheels. The all-wheel-drive model that has independent suspension typically should have a four-wheel alignment. The front casters and toes and the rear cambers and toes will get an adjustment.
It’s a good idea to get a wheel alignment when you have new tires put on your automobile. After this, you should have it done every year. You may be able to get away with only doing this every two years if you don’t drive often and your wheels won’t misalign naturally before you’ve driven 6,000 miles. However, there are times you should get a wheel alignment earlier than every year or two. If you’ve hit curbs, driven over bumps too fast, get into an automobile accident, or drive through potholes fast, it could knock your wheels out of alignment.
