How Does Volkswagen Vanagon Alignment Work?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Volkswagen Vanagon’s suspension system, which connects the wheels with the rest of the vehicle. During the 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 the system is aligned to Volkswagen specifications, 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 Vanagon 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. We'll also ensure your tire air pressure is correct.

How Often to Get Wheel Alignment Service for Your Volkswagen Vanagon

It's a good idea to have your Volkswagen Vanagon alignment checked every 6,000 miles or so. Even one misaligned wheel can wreak havoc on your 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 1986 Volkswagen Vanagon: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your Vanagon dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
