Yes—and that means it’s imperative to find an alignment shop with technicians who know which alignment is best for your vehicle. The three primary alignments are:
Standard or front-end alignment. In this alignment, our team will adjust your front tires to ensure they’re parallel to your car’s center. This is ideal when you need a fast, simple adjustment; however, it isn’t quite as accurate as other alignment varieties. If you have a current-model vehicle, another type of alignment may be a better fit.
Thrust alignment. This is the most accurate alignment for vehicles without an adjustable rear suspension. The thrust alignment process involves adjusting your front tires to match the “thrust line,” or the average direction in which your back two wheels are pointing.
Four-wheel alignment. If your car does have an adjustable rear suspension, this is the best alignment procedure for you. Our crew will closely examine all four of your wheels to ensure they’re precisely aligned.
