Everything You Need to Know
How Misaligned Wheels Can Affect Your Car's Performance and Safety
When your car pulls to one side or the other, or you notice your steering wheel is no longer straight, your vehicle may need an alignment. Whether you choose a two or four-wheel alignment for your car depends on what you want your mechanic to do to your vehicle.
Expert Tips for Maintaining Proper Wheel Alignment
When getting a wheel alignment for your car, our team will consider the camber, toe, and caster of all wheels. A two-wheel alignment only deals with the tires on the one axle of the car. They are also called front end alignments, and the term may be used interchangeably. Sometimes, a technician sets the alignment on the individual tires and logs the front tires. With the in the rear. In a four-wheel alignment, the technician will adjust all four tires independently. Each wheel is aligned so the camber, toe, and caster are aligned individually. When your wheels are aligned, you will find that your car handles better, brakes more steadily and performs better overall. Remember that the technician doesn't manipulate the tires during an alignment as they would during a tire balancing. It is actually the steering and suspension systems that are adjusted to wheel alignment.
