Don’t let your vehicle fight you as you steer or drive it down the road.  Do you find evidence that your tires wear out much faster than normal?

 

If so, you may be in desperate requirement to have your car’s wheels aligned.

 

A wheel alignment is the measurement of the relationship of the car to its wheels. When correctly aligned, the wheels hold still in the right direction.

Without a properly working wheel alignment, the wheels sort of fight your steering controls and commands, as well as each other.

Wheel alignments that are not set correctly can also negatively impact fuel consumption and tire wear.

 

As you know, it is the tires of your car that actually make contact with the road, with this in mind any out-of-balance affects riding performance, safety, traction, handling, and vehicle control.

 

Maintaining your tires to their correct air pressure levels and rotating them every 6,000 miles will increase the lifecycle of your tires, and aid in maintaining sharp handling in all driving circumstances.

 

There are three typical types of wheel alignments on most cars – front-end, thrust, and four-wheel. What determines this type of wheel alignment you have will exclusively depend on the type of automobile you drive.

What are the 3 wheel alignment adjustments, you ask?

Well, there are three main wheel alignment configurations or angles.  The alignment configurations are called the camber, caster, and toe alignment adjustments.  These angles depend on exactly the direction of the wheel’s position as it compares to the street versus the car.

 

Furthermore, the camber, caster, and toe can be explained a bit below – 

 

Wheel Caster Explained:

Okay, let’s discuss Caster first. So, a Caster angle depicts the slope of your wheels when looked at from the side view. Fortunately, this angle does not affect wear and tear on a tire, but caster angles do affect steering and driveability controls.

 

Wheel Camber Explained:

Upon viewing the car from the front, the Camber is the inward or outward tilt of the vehicle’s front tires.  From there, the distance or measurement (in degrees) between the tires’ vertical alignment is compared to the ground. When the tires are exactly perpendicular to the street or surface level, the camber would be considered 0 degrees.

 

Wheel Toe Explained:

And finally, there is the toe angle, which is the side-to-side variance measurement from the front and rear of the front tire distance. Any measurement which is closer to the front, it’s labeled toe-in. Conversely, the difference that is closer at the rear, it’s labeled toe-out.

 

The above is a lot to sort out, right?
