View Full Version : Alignment Problem

Has anyone here ever had a problem with alignment in their MKIV?

All of a sudden (about 2 weeks ago), the car has started pulling to the right. Though it is a slight pull, it seems to be getting slowly worse... And if this makes any sense, it seems as if there is more resistance on the steering wheel when I turn left than when I turn right. Also, when I straighten one tire visually, the other one is visually pointed outward slightly, or is this just the normal toe?

I ensured that all the tire pressures are exactly correct as well as even rotating the tires.

Will a simple alignment fix my problem? Does anyone have any advice what to look for? Thank you in advance!!!

Not on my VW, but when that happened on my Civic, it ended up being the CV joints.
Do you hear any "clicking" when you turn?

Nothing else is abnormal whatsoever

Sounds like your alignment. Since you are under warranty I would take it into the dealer and have them look at it just in case there might me something else wrong with it.

harsh road conditions can sometimes throw your alignment off slightly, i'd just get it on the rack and check it.
but it is normal

Thanks guys... I think I'll just pay the $40 or whatever it is so I dont have to listen to the dealer shit themselves over the mods on the car...

Alignment should straighten it out. I had a pull back in the day and the alignment got it back on track.
