What Happens During a Wheel Alignment?

A wheel alignment involves checking and adjusting the angles of your wheels as they relate to the suspension and steering system. Proper alignment settings can vary by vehicle, so a service technician uses alignment specifications for your make and model.

During an alignment check, the service team may review three common measurements: camber, toe, and caster.

Camber

Camber refers to the inward or outward tilt of the tire when viewed from the front of the vehicle. If camber is outside the recommended range, it can contribute to uneven tire wear or handling concerns.

Toe

Toe refers to the direction the tires point when viewed from above. If the tires point slightly inward or outward more than recommended, the vehicle may experience uneven tire wear or steering concerns.

Caster

Caster refers to the angle of the steering axis when viewed from the side of the vehicle. Caster can affect steering feel, stability, and how the steering wheel returns after a turn.

Why Do I Need a Wheel Alignment?

Wheel alignment can change over time from everyday driving, potholes, curb contact, road debris, suspension wear, or tire replacement. When alignment is off, tires may wear unevenly and the vehicle may not track straight as expected.

Alignment service can be especially helpful if you have recently installed new tires, noticed steering changes, or experienced a strong impact with a pothole or curb.

How Often Should I Have My Wheels Aligned?

Alignment timing depends on your vehicle, road conditions, driving habits, and tire wear. Many drivers choose to have alignment checked when they replace tires or if they notice symptoms that suggest the vehicle may be out of alignment.

You may want to schedule an alignment check after:

• A strong impact with a pothole, curb, or road debris.
• New tire installation.
• Suspension or steering repairs.
• Uneven or unusual tire wear.
• Repeated driving on rough roads.

How Can I Tell Whether My Wheels Are Out of Alignment?

Alignment concerns often show up through tire wear, steering feel, or how the vehicle tracks on the road. If you notice these signs, it may be time to schedule an alignment check:

• The vehicle pulls to the left or right while driving straight.
• The steering wheel is off-center when driving on a straight road.
• The steering wheel shakes or vibrates.
• The tires show uneven tread wear.
• The vehicle feels less stable or predictable than usual.

If you notice uneven tread wear or handling changes, you can schedule a service appointment to have your alignment checked.
