Enjoy a smoother, safer drive with precision Volkswagen wheel alignment. Misaligned wheels can cause uneven tire wear, poor fuel economy, and pulling while driving. At Three Rivers Volkswagen in McMurray, PA, our certified technicians use advanced alignment equipment to restore your vehicle’s suspension geometry to exact factory specifications for peak performance and control.
What Is a Wheel Alignment?
Wheel alignment adjusts your vehicle’s suspension system — specifically the angles of your tires — so they make even contact with the road. Proper alignment improves steering response, tire wear, and overall comfort. During every Volkswagen alignment service, we check and adjust three key angles:
- Camber: The inward or outward tilt of the tires when viewed from the front.
- Toe: The angle the tires point toward or away from each other.
- Caster: The angle of your steering axis that helps with straight-line stability.
Signs Your Volkswagen Needs Alignment
- Vehicle pulls to one side while driving
- Uneven or rapid tire wear
- Steering wheel off-center when driving straight
- Vibration or wandering while driving
- After hitting a pothole, curb, or road debris
Benefits of Proper Wheel Alignment
- Improves fuel efficiency by reducing rolling resistance

- Enhances handling, steering precision, and comfort
- Reduces strain on suspension and steering components
- Ensures your Volkswagen drives straight and true
