Volvo Wheel Alignment St Helens: The Three Angles
Camber
How much the top of the wheel tilts in or out when viewed from the front — incorrect camber wears one edge of the tyre faster.
Caster
The angle of the steering axis viewed from the side — affects straight-line stability and how the steering self-centres.
Toe
Whether the front of the wheels point slightly in or out relative to each other — even a small error causes genuinely rapid, uneven wear.
Volvo Wheel Alignment St Helens: The Air Suspension Link
Ride height and alignment are genuinely connected
On air suspension-equipped models like the XC90, S90, V90 and XC60, ride height is controlled electronically — and alignment angles are genuinely measured relative to that ride height. If the suspension is sagging on one corner, or the compressor's been recently replaced, alignment settings can be thrown off without the tyres themselves being at fault.
This is exactly why it's worth checking alignment alongside any suspension work, rather than treating them as unrelated jobs — see our Volvo Suspension Repair page for the genuine compressor issue some models are affected by.

Volvo Wheel Alignment St Helens: Twin Engine PHEV
Twin Engine PHEV models carry genuinely more weight than an equivalent petrol or diesel Volvo, due to the battery pack — already accelerating tyre wear, and poor alignment compounds that further. Worth prioritising an alignment check on these models specifically, rather than treating it as optional.
