How Does Audi A6 Alignment Work?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Audi A6’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. When your car has an alignment service, calculated changes are made to the angles of your tires. This is so that your tires hit the road at an optimal angle for your vehicle’s performance — just as Audi intended. When the system is aligned to Audi specifications, all of your tires experience equal pressure. Three good things happen as a result: your ride is smoother, your tires wear more evenly and last longer, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2012 Audi A6, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Audi. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Audi A6

It's a good idea to have your Audi A6 alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce fuel efficiency, and over time can lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2012 Audi A6: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or squealing tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your A6 if your wheel alignment needs attention.
