Whats wheel alignment?
Aligning a vehicle’s wheels involves setting the front and/or rear suspension and steering angles to manufacturer’s specifications. Vehicle suspensions are designed to be at certain dimensions and angles when the vehicle is level and loaded to designated conditions. These settings affect the way the vehicle rides and handles when in motion. When you have a front-wheel-drive vehicle with independent rear suspension, four-wheel alignment is usually needed. In addition to aligning the front wheels, many other factors (like the suspension, steering, tires, shock absorbers, and passenger and cargo loading) must be taken into account. Because the technology in today’s vehicles tends to mask the need for an alignment, drivers tend to overlook this need. Uneven tire wear, or even steering pulls or leads can indicate the need to have the wheel alignment checked or adjusted.
