Wheel Alignment

A Wheel Alignment is one of the key maintenance factors in getting the most wear and performance from your tires.

Today’s modern suspensions require a precise four-wheel alignment that can only be achieved through a modern alignment system. This applies to both front and rear wheel drive vehicles.

Alignment Basics

Aligning a car or truck involves the adjustment of the vehicle’s suspension, not the tires and wheels. The direction and the angles that the tires point in after the alignment is complete, however, are critically important. There are four factors involved in setting the alignment to specification: caster, camber, toe and ride height.
