How often should I get an alignment on my 2018 Volvo V90?

Every 2–3 years or about 30,000 miles is a practical interval for a 2018 Volvo V90 alignment, sooner after suspension work or a major pothole hit.

Boston-area roads and Route 1 can accelerate tire wear and drift your Volvo’s caster, camber, and toe out of spec. Keeping your V90 aligned helps maintain stable highway tracking and even tire wear on its 115.8-inch wheelbase. If you’ve replaced tie rods, control arms, or struts, align immediately. You can schedule service online for a convenient appointment in Norwood.
