When Should Wheel Alignment Be Performed?

[DelaneyFitz]

New vehicles should undergo wheel alignment promptly after 3 months of driving and after any collision occurs, with tire rotation recommended every 10,000 kilometers. Additional information about wheel alignment is as follows: 1. Wheel alignment is based on the four-wheel parameters of the vehicle, adjusted to ensure optimal driving performance and certain reliability. 2. The installation of a car's steering wheels, steering knuckles, and front axle has specific relative positions. This installation with specific relative positions is called steering wheel alignment, also known as front wheel alignment. 3. Front wheel alignment includes four components: kingpin caster (angle), kingpin inclination (angle), front wheel camber (angle), and front wheel toe-in. Similarly, the two rear wheels also have relative positions in their installation with the rear axle, known as rear wheel alignment, which includes wheel camber (angle) and sequential rear wheel toe-in. Collectively, front wheel alignment and rear wheel alignment are referred to as four-wheel alignment.
