Factory alignment targets on the 2012 Volkswagen Golf reference three angles: caster (steering axis tilt), camber (wheel tilt), and toe (wheel direction). Front and rear angles are measured independently; front toe and camber are commonly adjustable, and select rear settings may also be adjustable depending on component condition. Using OEM-calibrated equipment, our team sets each angle to Volkswagens specification range and centers the steering wheel, then verifies on a road test. Impacts from potholes or curbs can bend components and push angles out of rangewell identify those before adjustment. Bring your 2012 Volkswagen Golf to Larry H.
