Wheel Alignment
The adjustment of suspension geometry to manufacturer specifications.
Wheel alignment ensures correct camber, caster, and toe angles, promoting even tire wear and stable handling. Misalignment causes pulling, vibration, and reduced fuel efficiency. Using laser or computer alignment systems, technicians measure and adjust settings precisely. Regular alignment after suspension repairs or tire replacement maintains optimal performance. Proper geometry ensures predictable steering response and extends tire lifespan, improving overall vehicle safety.
