How Does Volkswagen Vanagon Alignment Work?

An alignment involves making adjustments to your Volkswagen Vanagon'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 the system is aligned to Volkswagen specifications, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. This gives you several benefits: your car handles better, the lifespan of your tires increases, and your suspension system experiences less strain. When you bring in your 1985 Volkswagen Vanagon, we’ll perform an alignment check first. Then, we’ll adjust the angles as needed until they match recommended measurements from Volkswagen. Plus, we’ll check to make sure your tire pressure is at an optimal level.

When to Get Volkswagen Vanagon Wheel Alignment

It’s wise to have your Volkswagen Vanagon alignment checked (and corrected as needed) roughly every 6,000 miles. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your fuel efficiency, and could lead to premature wear and tear on your vehicle if left unaddressed. You may need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 1985 Volkswagen Vanagon: a pull to one side while the car is in motion, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a crooked steering wheel when driving straight, or squealing tires. Unlike with other potential issues, you won’t see any dashboard warning lights in your Vanagon if your wheel alignment needs attention.

How Much Does an Alignment for Volkswagen Vanagon Cost?

Properly aligned wheels may help increase fuel efficiency and tire lifespan, so you get more miles out of the same tank of gas and set of tires. Regular wheel alignment checks and adjustments could also cut down on future auto repairs.
