Some 4S stores offer it for free, while others charge a fee, depending on the specific situation. Below is a detailed explanation about wheel alignment at 4S stores: The Function of Wheel Alignment: Based on the four-wheel parameters of the vehicle, adjustments are made to ensure good driving performance and a certain level of reliability. It helps the car maintain stable straight-line driving and easy steering while reducing tire and steering component wear during driving. Data Adjusted During Wheel Alignment: Caster angle, kingpin inclination, camber (negative camber), and toe (toe-out). Among these, the caster angle ensures straight-line stability and steering return. The kingpin inclination enhances stability and steering return. Camber increases tire contact area and offsets adverse effects. Toe counteracts the negative effects caused by camber (or negative camber).
