How Wheel Alignment Service is Performed
Over time, your wheels will get out of alignment and the job is to bring them back into alignment. When you bring it in for service, our technicians will look for three things. The camber, which is the inward or outward angle of the tire from the front of the vehicle is the first thing. If the tilt is too far out in either direction, that's a sign of an improper alignment, and if not fixed could lead to worn ball joints or bearings.
Secondly, we'll look at the toe, which is how far your tires turn inward or outward if looking at them directly down toward your feet. The final step is the caster, which balances your steering, cornering, and overall stability.
We look at all these and then look at your vehicle's specifications for the proper alignment and bring everything into the right position. This then allows you to enjoy plenty of quality driving for many miles. Not getting an alignment can lead to bigger issues and potentially more costly repairs. So, if you're feeling some of the warning signs, or you are due for an alignment, schedule one with us here at our service center providing needed repairs for those around Alexandria, VA, Waldorf, MD and the Washington, DC area.
