What Is Wheel Alignment or Tire Alignment?
Wheel alignment, also called tire alignment, is the way that your tires line up with the rest of the vehicle. Wheels need to be side by side and perpendicular to the ground. If they're misaligned, you may have difficulty steering. It can also put excessive wear on the tires. Wheel alignment makes sure that your vehicle travels straight without unintentional pulling to either side. It also reduces excessive wear on your tires.
When we perform a four-wheel alignment, our Ford technicians check your camber, toe and caster. We can also perform dynamic wheel balancing to correct weight imbalances that can prematurely shorten the lifespan of your tires.
