What Is Tire Alignment?
A tire (or wheel) alignment is an adjustment to your vehicle's suspension, a system interconnected with the wheels. This isn't an adjustment to the wheels or tires but a way to properly align them. During servicing, we will adjust the angles of the tires since this impacts how your tires contact the road surface.
Wheel Alignment
Premature wear can result from wheel misalignment. Technicians will look for feathering, camber wear, heel/toe wear, and tire balancing. A wheel alignment adjusts your vehicle's suspension to make sure each of its wheels aligns in proportion to one another. Technicians look to restore the factory settings of your Camber angle (the vertical tilt on the wheel's side related to the side of the vehicle), the Caster angle (the steering axis tilt in relation to a vertically oriented straight line), and the Toe angle (the wheel side's lateral tilt to match the vehicle's centre).
Front End Alignment
A front-end alignment is another phrase for a wheel alignment. This adjusts the two wheels involved in your vehicle's drivetrain. If you have front-wheel drive, you will need a front-end alignment.
Four-wheel Alignment
Vehicles with all-wheel/four-wheel drive will need a four-wheel alignment. Just note that modern wheel alignments must be conducted as a four-wheel system. It measures the rear wheel alignment angles regardless of whether to adjust the rear wheels. Also, the front wheels require a proper alignment with the rear wheels. Your technician can inform you which wheels are adjustable on your vehicle.
