Alignment is the process of making sure that all four wheels are pointing in the same direction and ensuring that camber, caster, and toe angles are within factory specifications. Camber is the inward or outward tilt of your tires when looking head-on, caster is how far forward or backward your wheel leans, and toe angle determines if any tire points inward or outward. Each of these angles has a substantial effect on steering, suspension, and handling.
Maintaining proper alignment on your vehicle is essential for a smooth ride and preventing excessive wear on tires. Improper alignments can lead to decreased fuel efficiency, uneven tire wear, poor handling, and other problems. Regularly having your car aligned by an expert technician is one of the best ways you can protect your investment and take care of your vehicle, and it only takes one hour or less.
