How Often Should Wheel Alignment Be Done?

[JeffreyRose]

New vehicles should undergo wheel alignment promptly after 3 months of driving and after any collision, with tire rotation recommended every 10,000 kilometers. Below are relevant details: 1. Wheel alignment is based on the four-wheel parameters of the vehicle, adjusted to ensure optimal driving performance and reliability. 2. The installation of a car's steering wheels, steering knuckles, and front axle involves specific relative positioning, known as front wheel alignment (or steering wheel alignment). Front wheel alignment includes four components: caster angle, kingpin inclination angle, camber angle, and toe-in. Similarly, the rear wheels have relative positioning with the rear axle, referred to as rear wheel alignment, which includes camber angle and individual rear wheel toe-in. Collectively, front and rear wheel alignment is termed four-wheel alignment.
