Common questions
Is alignment the same as tire balancing?
No. Alignment sets wheel angles; balancing addresses uneven weight distribution in a wheel-and-tire assembly. The correct service depends on the concern.
Will alignment fix every steering vibration?
No. Tire, wheel, steering or suspension issues can cause vibration. Describe when it happens so the appropriate assessment can be arranged.
Can alignment correct existing uneven tread wear?
Adjustment does not restore tread already worn away. Have tire condition assessed as well as the cause of the wear.
Is an alignment needed after suspension repair?
Some suspension repairs affect alignment. Ask whether measurement or adjustment is appropriate for the components replaced and your vehicle's service requirements.
Do I need two-wheel or four-wheel alignment?
The vehicle design, available adjustments and condition determine the appropriate scope. Ask which wheels are measured and adjusted, whether any worn parts need attention first and whether before-and-after measurements are provided.
