Do you know when it's time for a wheel alignment?
Wheel alignments are a key part of vehicle maintenance. Proper alignment helps with tire wear, comfort, and fuel efficiency. It also reduces stress on suspension parts like shocks and struts, helping them last longer. During an alignment, technicians focus on three things: camber, caster, and toe - adjusting the angles of your tires and components to match the manufacturer's specs. If your alignment is off, you might notice vibrations, uneven tire wear, and a rough ride.
