What Does Four-Wheel Alignment Mean?

[VonLeonardo]

Four-wheel alignment refers to a maintenance procedure that adjusts the geometric angles between the tires and components such as steering and suspension to ensure tight contact between the tires and the ground. Vehicles require four-wheel alignment under the following circumstances: 1. After replacing new tires or undergoing repairs due to a collision accident. 2. When there is uneven wear on the inner or outer edges of the front or rear tires. 3. When the steering wheel feels excessively heavy or floats and shakes during driving. 4. When the vehicle pulls to the left or right while driving straight. Methods to prevent misalignment in four-wheel alignment: 1. When parking, choose a level surface whenever possible and avoid parking on slopes or curbs, as this can cause uneven stress on the vehicle's suspension, affecting the alignment over time. 2. When driving on bumpy or uneven roads, reduce speed to minimize impact.
