Advantages of wheel alignment

A proper wheel alignment involves making the wheels of your vehicle perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. Usually, this consists of adjusting three main angles which are the caster, camber, and toe. When the caster angle is not aligned, the straight-line tracking will be affected. The camber will help you tell if the wheel is perpendicular to the floor or not while the toe is a measure of the angle of directional difference between the centerline and tire of the vehicle. You would be able to tell if your wheels are properly aligned just by looking at them; for a proper wheel alignment, the rear and front wheels would be parallel to the tire beside it an perpendicular to the ground.

Routine wheel alignments have the potential to save you money in the long run while promoting optimal vehicle performance.
