Wheel alignment is a vital part of car maintenance. It refers to the angle and direction at which your tires are set. A wheel alignment service will adjust the three angles of your suspension system, toe, caster, and camber. These angles will be modified to match the measurement specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Your wheels need to be aligned to the recommended position as outlined in your vehicle's manufacturer specification. Wheel alignments ensure that your wheels are on straight and your car drives effectively. Keeping your tires balanced and adequately aligned can give you a smoother ride, improve your fuel efficiency, and extend the life of your tires and drivetrain.

How Is a Wheel Alignment Done?

The process of aligning your wheels is an elaborate procedure. The certified technicians at Gobble's Automotive can provide you with a dependable wheel alignment. Your vehicle will be placed on a wheel alignment machine. This machine will adjust your wheels' angles so that they are set to the car manufacturer's specifications. The type of alignment you receive is dependent on your car's suspension. Your technician will adjust the various suspension angles, which influence the tire movement and position. Your steering wheel will also be centered. To allow the stability control system's correct functioning, ensure that your car's alignment is correct. A test drive should be done after an alignment is performed to ensure your vehicle drives in a straight direction.

How Will Wheel Alignment Help My Car?

Hitting Curbs or potholes can result in wheel misalignment. Poorly aligned tires can affect road-handling and decrease the life of your tires, causing the need for premature tire replacement. In most cases, only the two front wheels require wheel alignment to resolve the issue; however, in some cases, all four wheels will require alignment. Our specialized wheel alignment machines can align your tires the exact way how they were when they left the factory.

Do I Need 2 Wheel or 4 Wheel Alignment?

Cars usually require a two-wheel alignment as they typically have a solid rear axle preventing misalignment. If you have a vehicle that is an all-wheel-drive with independent suspensions, then you'll require a four-wheel alignment.
