Your Vehicle Needs It, But What Is It?

There’s no shame in asking questions about your vehicle, and we’re glad to answer one of the more common ones for you. What exactly is a wheel alignment? Without overly complicating the definition, it is the adjustment of the major suspension angles–camber, caster, toe, and thrust. These angles represent the relationship between your automobile’s body and the wheels, that of the wheels to one another, and the connection possible between your vehicle and the road. Proper wheel alignment (or lack thereof) impacts everything from how well you can steer and control your car to tire wear patterns. Common signs that your vehicle needs a wheel alignment include irregular tread wear and pulling the auto to one side. The exact wheel alignment you need depends upon what type of vehicle you drive–two-wheel drive, front-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, or four-wheel drive.
