Alignment question

Post by AlanS »

Now that I got new tires, I need an alignment. Anything I gotta know for my awd Volvo? Or do I just take it to the local alignment place and trust they know what to do?

It must be a four wheel alignment, starting with the rear wheels then they adjust the thrust angle and finally the toe on the fronts. I didn't trust my local shop for it, ended up going to the dealer. You could ask them if they do four wheel alignments and try to gauge from the answer you get.

I only trust one shop when it comes to alignment. It's all they do. Vodies Garden Grove. 👍

Did you guys give your alignment tech any particular specs, or go with the "industry standard"?
