What is an Alignment?

A car's steering and suspension system dictates the angles at which the tires contact the pavement and sit in relation to one another. An alignment ensures that these angles are set in a way that optimizes the handling of the vehicle and tire tread life.

Common Symptoms of Improper Alignment

• Uneven tire wear
• Vehicle pulls or drifts consistently to one side
• Steering wheel is off center

Three Angles to a Proper Alignment

• Camber measures the angle of the wheel when viewed from the front.
• Caster measures the angle of pivot points that hold the wheel e.g. ball joints, when viewed from the side of the car
• Toe measures the distance between the front of the tires and the back of the tires when viewed from above.

Other shops, especially large chains may offer free alignments, or alignment checks. Be careful - because you get what you pay for.A proper alignment is labor intensive, and only on the rarest of occasions does an alignment take less than 45 minutes to complete
