If you want to detect incorrect steering geometry while driving, first make sure that both front tires of the same model have the same profile depth and prescribed air pressure (see chapter "Wheels and tires").
Check whether the steering wheel spokes are symmetrical in a straight line.
An oblique steering wheel is often a sign of improper wheel alignment.
Inaccurate straight-line movement can be recognized especially well on a smooth snowy or icy road. Excessively wide tires, even if the wheels are correctly installed, can impair the straightness of the movement
Check if it pulls "Volkswagen" to the side absolutely straight!! road and with the steering wheel released.
After passing through a curved path, the steering gear automatically returns to the straight position.
Look at the front wheels from a distance of 5-10 m: are they located symmetrically one relative to the other.
The tire profile is worn on one side of one wheel. In heavy traffic conditions, both front tires have more wear marks on the outer edges than on the inner edges. This is a common occurrence.
A dented rim indicates a hard impact on a curbstone, causing the front wheel suspension geometry and shock strut to easily go out of position (corners are violated).
Worn out hinges or rubber bearings, ineptly carried out repairs - all these are also the reasons for the incorrect position of the wheels.
