When all of your vehicle’s wheels are lined up exactly with each other, your wheels are in alignment. Hitting a road hazard or even just the normal bumps and bounces of everyday driving can cause your wheels to be out of alignment. This can lead to pricey premature tire and suspension wear.
Here are some alignment basics:
The first angle is called toe: do the wheels point in towards each other or away from each other at the front of the tire.
The next angle is called camber: do the wheels tip in or out at the top.
And finally, there is castor. Castor measures the angle where the front axles attach to the vehicle. Similar to the front wheels on a shopping cart versus the front wheel on a bicycle.
The ideal alignment for your vehicle was designed by its engineers. An alignment service at Judson's Auto Tech Inc starts with an inspection of the steering and suspension, to see if anything’s bent, broken or worn out and then we will look at tire condition.
From there, the vehicle is connected to the alignment screens and cameras and an initial alignment reading is taken. The wheels are then aligned to the car maker’s specifications. When the process is complete a final alignment reading is done, then a before and after comparison print out is provided.
Your car maker's owner’s manual probably has a recommendation for how often your alignment should be checked, usually every couple of years. If you suspect an alignment problem, get it checked at Judson's Auto Tech Inc before you suffer premature tire wear out or suspension damage.
