Professional Wheel Alignment Services at Gobble's Automotive

What Is Wheel Alignment?
Wheel alignment refers to adjusting a vehicle's suspension system, which connects the vehicle to its wheels. Proper alignment ensures the wheels are correctly positioned relative to each other and the road.

There are three key alignment angles:

• Camber: The tilt of the wheels from vertical.
• Caster: The angle of the steering axis.
• Toe: The direction the wheels point relative to the vehicle’s centerline.

The ability to adjust these angles depends on your vehicle's make and model.

Why Is Proper Alignment Important?
Correct wheel alignment improves handling, extends tire life, and enhances driving safety. Misalignment can cause uneven tire wear, poor steering response, and reduced fuel efficiency.

How Is Wheel Alignment Performed?
At Gobble’s Automotive, our technicians use advanced alignment equipment to measure and correct misalignment. The process involves:

1. Identifying misalignment using precision diagnostic tools.
2. Adjusting suspension angles to align the wheels properly.
3. Centering the steering wheel for optimal control.

The type of alignment required depends on your vehicle’s suspension system. Most vehicles need a front-wheel (two-wheel) alignment, while those with independent rear suspensions often require a four-wheel alignment.

Benefits of Proper Wheel Alignment
Manufacturers set specific alignment angles to optimize stability, handling, and tire longevity. A properly aligned vehicle provides:

• Improved steering response
• Smoother ride comfort
• Better fuel efficiency
• Reduced tire wear

What Causes Wheel Misalignment?
Wheel alignment can be affected by everyday driving conditions such as:

• Hitting potholes or curbs
• Sudden impacts or rough road conditions
• Normal suspension wear over time

Do You Need a Two-Wheel or Four-Wheel Alignment?

• Two-Wheel Alignment: Typically for vehicles with a solid rear axle.
• Four-Wheel Alignment: Required for all-wheel-drive and vehicles with independent rear suspensions.

Our technicians will determine the appropriate alignment service based on your vehicle’s specifications.
