How Does Volvo 740 Alignment Work?

Alignment services involve precise adjustments to your Volvo 740’s suspension system, the connection between the vehicle and the wheels. When your car has 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 Volvo intended them to. When your system is aligned to the measurements that Volvo specifies for your vehicle, there's equal pressure being applied to all of your tires. This gives you several benefits: your car handles better, the treads on your tires can wear more evenly, and there’s less strain put on your car’s suspension system. Before we adjust the alignment of your 1987 Volvo 740, we’ll start by checking the current alignment angles. After that, we can adjust your wheel alignment angles until they match Volvo’s recommended measurements. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When Should I Get Volvo 740 Wheel Alignment?

To keep your suspension in good shape, have your Volvo 740 alignment checked about every 6,000 miles. Believe it or not, even one misaligned wheel can reduce 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 1987 Volvo 740: pulling to the left or right, uneven or rapid tire wear, a steering wheel that feels off center or crooked while driving straight ahead, or squealing tires. You won’t see any warning lights on your 740 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
