What is 4 Wheel Alignment?

4 Wheel Alignment is the process of adjusting the angles of all four wheels of your vehicle to the manufacturer’s specifications. These angles include:

  • Camber: The inward or outward tilt of the wheels when viewed from the front of the vehicle.
  • Caster: The angle of the steering pivot when viewed from the side.
  • Toe: The direction the tires are pointed in relation to the center of the vehicle.

These angles need to be precise for your vehicle to drive straight and handle properly. At VAG Manchester, we use state-of-the-art, high-precision alignment equipment to ensure the wheels on your VW Group vehicle are perfectly aligned according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Common Problems Solved by 4 Wheel Alignment

  1. Uneven Tyre Wear: If you notice that your tyres are wearing unevenly, it’s often a sign that your wheels are out of alignment. Uneven wear can lead to premature tyre replacement and compromised safety due to reduced grip.
  2. Pulling to One Side: Does your car pull to the left or right when driving? This is a common sign of misalignment. 4 wheel alignment will correct this issue, ensuring your vehicle stays straight on the road without constant steering adjustments.
  3. Vibrating Steering Wheel: If you feel vibrations through the steering wheel, especially at higher speeds, it may be a result of misaligned wheels. Proper alignment can eliminate these vibrations, ensuring a smoother and more comfortable drive.
  4. Crooked Steering Wheel: A steering wheel that isn’t centered when driving straight is often a symptom of alignment issues. After performing a 4 wheel alignment, your steering wheel will be properly aligned, improving handling and overall driving comfort.
  5. Poor Handling in Turns: Misaligned wheels can reduce the ability of your vehicle to navigate turns smoothly. Whether you’re driving a precision-engineered Porsche or a nimble SEAT, proper alignment restores your vehicle’s optimal handling characteristics.

How Often Should You Get a 4 Wheel Alignment?

We recommend getting your vehicle’s alignment checked:

  • Annually, or every 12,000 miles.
  • After replacing tyres or suspension components.
  • After hitting potholes, curbs, or if you’ve been in a minor collision.
  • If you notice any of the common symptoms mentioned earlier, such as uneven tyre wear or pulling to one side.

Regular alignment checks are a crucial part of vehicle maintenance, particularly for high-performance models like CUPRA and Porsche, where precision handling is a key aspect of the driving experience.
