Is a Wheel Alignment Necessary After Replacing the Lower Control Arm?
1 Answers
Whether a wheel alignment is necessary after replacing the lower control arm depends on the specific situation: 1. If the replacement was done due to abnormal chassis noise or vehicle deviation caused by the control arm, and the issue is resolved after replacement, a wheel alignment is not required. 2. If there was severe tire wear, vehicle deviation, or difficult steering control before the replacement, and road testing after replacement still shows issues, a wheel alignment is necessary. Wheel alignment adjusts the vehicle's four-wheel parameters to ensure optimal driving performance and reliability. Situations that require a wheel alignment include: 1. The vehicle's driving performance is affected. 2. Damage to the chassis or suspension due to an accident. 3. Abnormal tire wear.
