Four-Wheel Alignment Service

WHAT IS A FOUR-WHEEL ALIGNMENT?

There are a ton of questions that surround what this service is, how it differs from two-wheel drive alignment and when you need it. So, what is it? Poor wheel alignment is when your car stops driving straight and you can actively feel it pulling to one side or the other. When this happens, our team goes in to fix the tires and the axels to realign them so your car can naturally drive straight again and with the curves of the road. Unlike two-wheel-drive vehicles where alignment is only an issue for the front or rear wheels, four-wheel-drive cars use all four wheels differently. In short, the front and rear wheels have separate functions, which means they have to rotate differently.

WHEN TO GET A FOUR-WHEEL ALIGNMENT?

Unlike oil changes and brake checks, there is no light on the dashboard that comes on when you need an alignment. This is because alignment is not a routine service. Four-wheel drive cars were designed to take on the rough and rugged backroads and other kinds of trying terrain. With the amount of shaking and dumps that come with that, or by hitting a pothole, it is no surprise that the suspension and alignment on your car might need some extra attention. The best way to identify that your car needs an alignment is by noticing if your car can drive straight on a straight road. If it pulls to the left or the right, something is wrong.
