Is a Wheel Alignment Necessary After Tire Rotation?
1 Answers
Tire rotation does not require a subsequent wheel alignment. Situations that do necessitate a wheel alignment include: 1. Damage to the chassis and suspension caused by an accident; 2. Replacement of the steering system or its components; 3. Uneven wear on one side of the front or rear tires; 4. Replacement or adjustment of the suspension system. Wheel alignment involves adjusting the geometric angles of the tires relative to the steering and suspension components to ensure optimal contact between the tires and the road surface. The steps for performing a wheel alignment are: 1. Connect to power and turn on the equipment; 2. Attach targets to the wheels with the targets facing the camera; 3. On the computer interface, click to enter the measurement program; 4. Open the camera to verify if the targets are correctly positioned front and back, making adjustments if necessary; 5. Click to measure and follow the prompts to obtain the measurement data; 6. Adjust the total toe data for the vehicle to fall within the standard green range.
