Is a Four-Wheel Alignment Necessary After Changing Tires?
1 Answers
For routine tire maintenance, if no adjustments have been made to the suspension or chassis, a four-wheel alignment is not required. Simply performing a dynamic balance after changing the tires is sufficient. During actual use, if the wheels can drive normally without pulling to one side and the steering wheel returns to its normal position properly, a four-wheel alignment is generally unnecessary. Below is relevant information about four-wheel alignment: 1. The benefit of four-wheel alignment is that it helps the car maintain straight-line driving and reduces wear on the tires and steering components during operation. 2. Normally, the four-wheel alignment parameters of a car do not change easily. It is only necessary to perform a four-wheel alignment when the car's axle or suspension system components have been disassembled and reassembled, when the chassis or suspension has been damaged in an accident, or when prolonged driving on unpaved roads has caused deformation of suspension components. 3. The primary purpose is to ensure the vehicle's reliability and safety by adjusting parameters such as front wheel toe-in, front wheel camber, rear wheel toe-in, and kingpin inclination angle.
