What Does Wheel Alignment Do?

[DeXavier]

Wheel alignment is based on the four-wheel parameters of the vehicle, adjusting them to ensure optimal driving performance and a certain level of reliability. After performing a wheel alignment, the tires and the vehicle body maintain the best angles, improving grip while ensuring comfort. If a vehicle exhibits abnormal symptoms and does not undergo wheel alignment, it not only significantly impacts safety but also greatly reduces tire lifespan. Here are several situations that require wheel alignment: 1. Affected driving performance: When the vehicle's driving performance is compromised, the driver may directly experience issues such as the car pulling to one side or the steering wheel not returning to center automatically. 2. Damage to the chassis or suspension: Damage caused by an accident to the chassis and suspension. 3. Abnormal tire wear: If tires show abnormal wear, it's also necessary to consider whether irregular tire pressure is causing the issue. Generally, overinflated tires will accelerate wear on the center of the tread, while underinflated tires will increase wear on both sides. If one side shows uneven wear, it may indicate a deviation in the camber angle.
