Service guide

Wheel alignment

Alignment sets wheel angles to vehicle specifications. It is different from tire balancing.

What to discuss with the shop

Pulling, an off-center steering wheel or uneven wear can have several causes. Ask for an inspection before buying an alignment.

Questions worth asking

  • Can you provide before-and-after measurements?
  • Are worn parts preventing adjustment?
  • Is steering-sensor calibration needed?

Service scope varies by vehicle and facility. Confirm the exact work and the written estimate before authorizing repairs.
