A two-wheel alignment also referred to as a front-end alignment, is when the technician adjusts the front wheels of your car. The caster, toe, and camber may be rearranged during the process. The camber is the angle of the wheel, which should be perpendicular to the ground, which reduces uneven wear. The caster is the angle of steering, allowing the tires to turn the steering wheel. Finally, the toe is the measurement between the two tires allowing them to be parallel.
If you feel your car pull to the right or the left while driving down the road, you may need to have a front-wheel alignment. If you ignore this sign, it may cause you to have extensive damage and expensive repairs. On the other hand, when you have your front wheels aligned, it improves the comfort of your ride and handling. In addition, an alignment can help slow down the wear on your tires.
During a two-wheel alignment, the technician adjusts the front wheels. With a four-wheel alignment, the technician adjusts all four tires. A four-wheel alignment is only necessary for an AWD vehicle with an independent suspension.
There is not a set rule on how often you should have your vehicle checked to see if it needs a wheel alignment. However, the road conditions in which you drive your car may indicate the need for your car to have an alignment. If your driving conditions are typical, then the recommendation is that you have your vehicle checked every two to three years.
