Alignment Frequency

[A4orce84]

Hey Guys,

As the subject states, curious how often everyone gets their alignment done? 1x per year? 2x per year?

Just want to see what people are doing to get the maximum life out of their tires.

Thanks,
Asif

I think it is most normal to get one when (A) putting a new set of tires on (if it hasn't been recently done), or (B) after any major suspension work. I don't think most people have a regular "alignment schedule". This was more important 'back in the day' when cars had trouble "holding an alignment". On newer cars, once you lock them in, they tend to stay aligned pretty well for some time.

Obviously, enthusiast tendencies are different than the average owner, especially if the car is more sensitive to alignment specs (ie: aggressive camber and/or softer rubber).
