What is 4 Wheel Alignment?

A four wheel alignment service consists of a technician connecting your vehicle to a machine and measuring the camber, castor, and toe of your four wheels. These terms refer to the angle in which your wheels are perpendicular to the road.

A wheel that is even slightly off center can negatively affect your vehicle, causing your tires to want to travel in different directions. While the effect may be slight, you may notice your vehicle pulling to one side while driving, or even abnormal vibrations.

While this may not sound like any major matter of concern, continuing to drive with wheels that are out of alignment is more than just a minor nuisance but an issue that could wind up costing you thousands in the long run.

Wheels that are out of alignment negatively affect the life of your tires, and could warrant premature replacement. When wheels are out of alignment, pressure is not evenly distributed across your tires, causing uneven wear and premature tire replacement.

Additionally, wheels that are not in alignment with one another cause additional resistance against your vehicle’s aerodynamics, which leads to your vehicle burning more fuel. Added fuel costs, plus the cost of replacing tires with uneven wear could cost you thousands of dollars.

Repair costs from misaligned wheels far outweigh wheel alignment costs, making it a high beneficial service to perform in a timely manner.

If your vehicle is in need of a wheel alignment, schedule your appointment today with our service center and ensure your vehicle drives straight.

What Happens During a 4 Wheel Alignment?

When you bring your vehicle in for wheel alignment services in DuBois, one of our ASE certified technicians will use state of the art machinery and technology to measure its camber, castor, and toe. These terms refer to the angles of your tires and not only their alignment with one another, but also the tilt at the top of the axis.

During four wheel alignment services in DuBois, our technicians will first perform an alignment check to measure the camber, castor, and toe of each of the four wheels of your vehicle. He or she will then make the necessary adjustments to ensure that your wheels are reset back to your vehicle manufacturer’s specifications. This process is completed on each necessary wheel to confirm that your front wheels are perfectly in alignment with your rear wheels and that they all are in line with the road.

Why Do My Wheels Need Adjustment?

Camber, caster, and toe need periodic adjustments because it’s a part of the normal wear and tear process. As you travel over road-imperfections, your tires and suspension take a beating.

This constant impact from absorbing bumps, slowly knocks your suspension out of alignment, and over time, causes a noticeable problem. There are certain factors that can speed the need for an alignment service, such as hitting a pothole, getting into a collision, or even spirited driving.
