Wheel Alignments

What type of vehicle requires a two-wheel alignment service?

Two-wheel alignment service, also known as front wheel alignment, is required by vehicles that have a solid rear axle. Typically, these are large vehicles such as pickup trucks or SUVs. For most types of vehicles, a four-wheel alignment service is required. In some cases, the solid rear axle can get damaged and require an alignment service. Common signs of misaligned wheels include uneven tread wear and pulling of the vehicle to one side. It is best to take your vehicle to a certified technician for inspection service. At Cypress Volkswagen, we will use computerized technology to determine if the angles of the suspension require adjustment. We can restore these angles to Volkswagen factory specifications.

Never neglect misalignment

With a misaligned suspension, your vehicle might pull to one side. This can cause damage to the steering and suspension system. For the tires, this can lead to uneven tread wear. The tread is the rubber on the circumference of the tire that goes into contact with the road. With uneven tread wear, the life of the tires will be minimized, and the vehicle can suffer from reduced fuel efficiency. In severe cases of misalignment, the safety of the vehicle can be compromised. Although vehicle alignment is only required when there is misalignment, you should consider having periodic inspection service with our technicians.
