Wheel alignment details how the wheel assemblies come into contact with the suspension/steering components. There are three angles called the camber, caster, and toe-in, guiding how the wheels are pointed and grip the road. When the wheels are aligned, the tires are pointed, remain parallel, and grip the road properly. Wheel alignment maintenance is about adjusting the suspension/steering components to restore wheel angles to factory specifications. Four-wheel alignment service is for Volkswagen models with all-wheel-drive powertrains. These models need all four-wheel positions adjusted.
Wheel alignment service is recommended every 15,000 to 20,000 miles or every 12 months. Some drivers also choose to get the wheels aligned when mounting new tires or in response to misaligned wheels caused by driving incidents, such as hitting a curb while parking or slamming into a large pothole. You should get an alignment service if you have bad wheel angles regardless of the miles or time since the last service.
