An Alignment consists of our trained Technicians connecting your vehicle to our alignment machine and using sensor heads to get a reading of the caster, camber and tow. When we perform an alignment, we do a measurement for caster to see different angels on the pivot points like ball joints to see if they have the correct amount of caster. Then we check camber to see if tires are within manufacturer specifications for the top of the tire being too far in or too far out and finally we check tow. Tow is the measurement of the front leading edge of your tires pointing in or out. An Alignment should be done to make sure your tires wear correctly, and to help you maintain good drivability, and safety. Keep in mind all the bumps, and curbs you might hit or run over can shift suspensions and steering components over time which can cause your alignment to be off. When you do come in for an alignment always remember to let the Service Advisor at Champs Family Automotive know why you believe you need an alignment. In most cases an Alignment will not fix all suspension nor steering problems, it’s best for us to understand what your problem is so we can work together to find the best solution to fix and address your problem.
