Alignment FAQs
A standard alignment typically takes about an hour for two-wheel or four-wheel drive vehicles. However, if worn suspension components (e.g., bushings or track rods) require replacement, the service may take longer.
Delaying a wheel alignment leads to uneven tire wear, reducing both tire lifespan and fuel efficiency. Even small misalignments, imperceptible to the eye, can cause premature tread wear over time. Regular alignment checks, ideally every 6,000 miles, help maintain tire health and vehicle safety.
Three key angles—camber, toe, and caster—are inspected during alignment:
- Camber: The tilt of the tire when viewed from the front. Excessive inward tilt (negative camber) causes uneven wear on the inner edge of the tire.
- Toe: The inward or outward angle of the tires when viewed from above.
- Caster: The angle of the steering axis that affects cornering stability.
Yes! Aligning your wheels after installing new tires ensures they wear evenly, improving handling, fuel efficiency, and driving safety. Alignment also enhances the overall driving experience, maximizing the life of your investment.
