Alignment

Alignment, is crucial for optimizing tire performance and longevity. It enhances handling and prevents your vehicle from pulling to one side or vibrating on the road.  

WHAT IS AN ALIGNMENT?

Alignment involves adjusting a vehicle’s suspension, the system connecting it to its wheels. Proper alignment ensures the correct tire angles, affecting their contact with the road.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I NEED AN ALIGNMENT?

If you notice uneven tread wear, your vehicle pulling to the left or right, an off-center steering wheel, or steering wheel vibration, you should have your alignment checked.

CAMBER, TOE, & CASTER

A technician focuses on three key aspects during an alignment:  

– Camber: Inward or outward tire angle when viewed from the front.

– Toe: Tires turning inward or outward when viewed from above.

– Caster: Steering axis angle, impacting stability and cornering.

WHY ALIGNMENT MATTERS 

Misalignment causes uneven tire wear, including feathering, camber wear, and heel/toe wear.
