What is Four-Wheel Alignment for Vehicles?
1 Answers
Four-wheel alignment refers to the collective term for front wheel alignment and rear wheel alignment. The installation of a vehicle's steering wheels, steering knuckles, and front axle has specific relative positions. This type of installation with defined relative positions is called steering wheel alignment, also known as front wheel alignment. Front wheel alignment includes four components: caster, camber, toe-out, and toe-in. For the rear wheels, there is also a relative installation position with the rear axle, known as rear wheel alignment. Rear wheel alignment includes wheel camber and individual rear wheel toe-in. When driving, if you experience symptoms such as heavy steering, shaking, pulling to one side, misalignment, or failure to return to center, or notice abnormal tire wear like uneven wear, scalloped wear, block wear, or biased wear, as well as sensations of floating, bumping, or swaying while driving, it is time to perform a four-wheel alignment.
