Do You Need a Wheel Alignment When Replacing Brake Discs?
1 Answers
Replacing brake discs does not require a wheel alignment. Situations that necessitate a wheel alignment include: 1. The vehicle's driving performance is affected (the most noticeable symptom for the driver is pulling to one side, and the steering wheel not returning to center after turning is another). 2. Damage to the chassis and suspension due to an accident. 3. Abnormal tire wear (though it's also important to consider whether abnormal wear is caused by incorrect tire pressure—generally, overinflation increases wear on the center of the tread, while underinflation increases wear on both sides; if one side shows uneven wear, it could indicate a camber angle issue). 4. The axle or suspension components have been removed.
