WHEEL ALIGNMENT |
|
|
|
|
Alignment is one of the key maintenance factors in getting the most wear and performance from your tires.
In addition, wheel alignment provides safe, predictable vehicle control as well as a smooth and comfortable
ride -- free of pulling or vibration. 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 tires and wheels.
The direction and the angles that the tires point in after the alignment is complete, however, are critically important.
There are five factors involved in setting the alignment to specification: caster,
camber,
toe,
thrust and ride height, and misalignment and tire wear.
The following brief discussion of each aspect will help you understand the process and spot potential problems.
