2023年2月12日 · It is my opinion getting an alignment is a good thing when buying new tires. While it is an added expense, it helps you to protect your investment so you can get the most out of your tires. It's sort of a crap shoot getting a 4-wheel alignment versus a 2-wheel one, but for the small added cost it can, as I said, give you a little peace of mind.

That means the wheel alignment took no more than 15 minutes. They gave me a printout showing a diagram of the measurements. On the printout it also showed the time, which said 2:01pm. If that's what time the alignment was started or finished, then it took only 6 or 9 minutes at most. Here's what the invoice said: 4-Wheel Computerized Alignment

Context/Information: If I understand correctly, having a fixed axle in a car makes getting things aligned significantly harder. This seems to be the case in my 2009 Toyota Corolla and the rear axle...

2013年8月23日 · I was wondering if a 4-wheel alignment involves taking off all the wheels. I called NTB to check whether their wheel alignment includes tire rotation and they said it didn't. But if they have to take all the wheels off, why would it matter which wheel they put on which rotor, i.e. doesn't make any difference to them?

2022年3月14日 · My back left had blown out after a dodgy repair and my 2 front had bad wear on the inside edge which l was shown so fairly sure they were needed. I asked why the alignment still showed red on some measurements post alignment and he said something about someone sat in driver seat and the rear one's weren't adjustable.

2016年4月22日 · One thing you might try before going for an alignment is making sure that all four of your wheels are seated flat against the hub. If any debris made its way between the wheel and the hub while you were swapping your tires, it could cause some drift. Also, just make sure all of your lug nuts are tight. Hope that helps.

2018年12月1日 · It's possible to have the alignment 100% correct but the wheel position off-centre. Which is basically what happens when whoever is doing the alignment doesn't lock the steering wheel in a centered position while doing the alignment. A good four-wheel alignment costs more than a simple "tracking" check - because it's more involved.

2016年4月13日 · I am wondering would this do any good: Lets assume we are balancing the right front wheel. Lets put the right wheel up on a stand, as if changing the tire. Turn on engine and the first gear. The differential should make sure only the raised wheel spins. Leave it running in idle and observe the wheel. Any imbalance should show up as jumping ...

2023年8月10日 · About 2 months ago, I had a 4 wheel alignment done on my 2006 Mazda 3. Now I need to replace the rear shocks. I'm planning on replacing the shocks myself and I am trying to avoid having to get another alignment done so soon.

2015年5月19日 · I just had a 4 wheel alignment done on a vehicle. While taking it for a test drive, I noticed that the steering wheel is not quite centered for the vehicle to drive straight. It's not pulling in either direction on it's own; it's just that "straight" for the vehicle is not exactly the same as "centered" for the steering wheel.
