Is Wheel Alignment Necessary When Changing Brakes?
1 Answers
Wheel alignment is not required when changing brakes. Below are the situations that do necessitate wheel alignment: 1. Driving performance is affected: The vehicle's driving performance is compromised (the driver will most noticeably experience pulling to one side, or the steering wheel not returning to center after turning). 2. Damage to the chassis and suspension due to an accident. 3. Abnormal tire wear: However, it's also important to consider whether abnormal wear is caused by incorrect tire pressure. Generally, over-inflation accelerates wear on the center of the tread, while under-inflation accelerates wear on the edges. If one side shows uneven wear, it could indicate a deviation in the camber angle. 4. The vehicle's axle or suspension components have been removed.
