Why Is Volkswagen Passat Alignment Important?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Volkswagen Passat’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. In an alignment service, your tire angles are adjusted according to measurements recommended by Volkswagen. Why? So that your tires can make contact with the road at the best possible angle. When your suspension is aligned to Volkswagen’s optimal measurements, all four tires have equal pressure applied to them on the road. This gives you several benefits: your ride is smoother, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and your suspension system experiences less strain. Before we adjust the alignment of your 2002 Volkswagen Passat, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Volkswagen. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

When to Get Volkswagen Passat Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Volkswagen Passat alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce fuel efficiency, and could cause premature wear on your car if not corrected. You may also want to stop by for an alignment check if you notice any of the following with your 2002 Volkswagen Passat: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or squealing tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your Passat dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
