The proper alignment of your car’s tires are crucial in order for it to perform adequately. When mechanics talk about tire alignment, they are looking specifically at toe, camber, and caster alignment. Having your wheels aligned correctly will help keep you safe on the road and boost your fuel economy.
What Does Alignment Refer To?
When someone tells you that your tires need to be aligned, they are referring to adjusting the vehicle’s suspension so that the wheels are angled correctly. Wheels can be adjusted by placing the car on an alignment rack and having a computer measure the angles of the
wheels. The person working on your car will then adjust the wheels based on these measurements.
