Why Is Volkswagen Jetta Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Volkswagen Jetta’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. During the 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 Volkswagen intended. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Volkswagen specifies for your vehicle, all of your tires experience equal pressure. Three good things happen as a result: your ride is smoother, the lifespan of your tires increases, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2008 Volkswagen Jetta, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Volkswagen’s recommended measurements. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When to Get Volkswagen Jetta Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Volkswagen Jetta alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly 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 2008 Volkswagen Jetta: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, excessive wear on only one tire, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your Jetta dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
