Why Is Volkswagen Jetta Alignment Important?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Volkswagen Jetta's suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. In an alignment service, the individual angles of your tires are adjusted so that they come into contact with the road in just the right way — the way Volkswagen intended them to. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Volkswagen specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. As a result, you get several benefits: your ride is smoother, the lifespan of your tires increases, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Bring your 1986 Volkswagen Jetta in for a wheel alignment and we'll start with an alignment check. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Volkswagen recommendations. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When Should I Get Volkswagen Jetta Wheel Alignment?

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Volkswagen Jetta alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Even a small misalignment can decrease your fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You might also want to get an alignment check if you experience any of the following when driving your 1986 Volkswagen Jetta: pulling to the left or right, excessive wear on only one tire, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or noticeable squealing noises from your tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your Jetta dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
