A Wheel alignment is one of those important but often-neglected regular maintenance requirement for your vehicle.
Alignment is one of the key maintenance factors in getting the most wear and performance from your tyres. In addition, wheel alignment provides safe, predictable vehicle control as well as a smooth and comfortable ride free of pulling or vibration, and improved litres per kilometre. Today's modern suspensions require a precise four-wheel alignment that can only be achieved through a modern alignment system. This applies to both front and rear wheel drive vehicles.
Alignment Basics
Aligning a car or truck involves the adjustment of the vehicle's suspension not the tyres and wheels. The direction and the angles that the tyres point in after the alignment is complete are critically important. There are five factors involved in setting the alignment to specification: caster, camber, toe, thrust and ride height.
