What Can I Expect with Volvo S40 Alignment?

With an alignment service, adjustments are made to your Volvo S40’s suspension system, which serves to attach your wheels to your vehicle. In 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, all of your tires experience equal pressure. As a result, you get several benefits: you enjoy a smoother ride, the lifespan of your tires increases, and significant stress is taken off your suspension system. When you bring in your 2008 Volvo S40, we’ll perform an alignment check first. If needed, we'll adjust your wheel alignment angles to match Volvo recommendations. We’ll make sure your tire pressure is at the correct level, too.

When Should I Get Volvo S40 Wheel Alignment?

It’s wise to have your Volvo S40 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 need to have your alignment checked if you notice any of these signs while driving your 2008 Volvo S40: a feeling that your car pulls to one side, rapid or uneven wear on one or more tires, a steering wheel that sits crooked while driving straight, or tires that squeal frequently. You won’t see any warning lights on your S40 dashboard if your wheel alignment is off, so pay close attention to these symptoms.
