In this issue of EuroAuto — we perform car repairs and discuss whether it is necessary to check the wheel alignment after replacing the shock absorbers. Today we are replacing the front shock absorbers on a Volkswagen Passat. We will clearly analyze whether it is necessary to check the wheel alignment on a stand if you have replaced the front shock absorbers. We will also answer the question: is it necessary to check the wheel alignment on a stand if you are only planning to replace the shock absorbers? At the same time, we will look at the condition of the Volkswagen suspension and talk about suspension repair — the official version and the people's version. And finally, we will give recommendations on how often you need to check the wheel alignment if nothing has been changed in the car. Information about vacancies at EuroAuto: +7 (812) 458 04 60.
