Is Wheel Alignment Necessary When Rotating Tires?
1 Answers
Rotating tires does not require wheel alignment. Wheel alignment is needed in the following situations: 1. Damage to the chassis and suspension caused by an accident; 2. Replacement of steering system or 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, steering, and suspension components to ensure tight contact between the tires and the ground. The benefits of wheel alignment include: 1. Enhanced driving safety; 2. Reduced tire wear; 3. Keeping the steering wheel straight when driving straight; 4. Automatic return of the steering wheel after turning, improved driving control, reduced fuel consumption, and decreased wear on suspension components.
