Alignment Service East Lansing, MI
East Lansing, MI Chevy Alignment
Alignment services, being an expected aspect of your car's maintenance, are relatively easy to conduct for a trained technician with the right tools. The vehicle is suspended by the shop lift to place the wheels at eye level, the technician has access to the underside of the car while standing. The technician will do a visual inspection for any broken parts, which is rarely the case, then use specially designed tools to measure the placement and angle of each wheel.
The Purpose Of Aligning Your Wheels
Wheel alignment has to be adjusted because of the road forces exerted on your car during daily driving. It's enough force to break even the most well-made steel parts if the car wasn't designed with stress points to disperse those forces. Over time, those stress points can become misplaced, moving your wheels out of their optimal alignment to each other, the road, and the vehicle frame. At such a point, the alignment needs to be reset.

Two-Wheel Alignment versus Four-Wheel Alignment
Two-wheel alignment is what most two-wheel drive or front-wheel drive modern cars need. There are some exceptions in which a front-wheel-drive vehicle needs the rear wheels aligned as well, but generally, four-wheel alignment is for all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive vehicles. Such information is in your owner's manual or is easily explained by a properly trained technician who understands the needs of your specific make and model of car.
Why You Should Get An Alignment
Several things happen when the wheels are out of alignment. The tire tread will wear unevenly. Such a problem can be resolved with tire rotation more often than expected, but it's better to solve the real problem than treat the symptom. Another issue can be poor handling, efficiency, and gas mileage. Other issues can cause those problems as well, so a trained technician needs to look the vehicle over when such symptoms present themselves. By far the most common problem with poor alignment is the car won't hold a straight line when driving with the steering wheel centered, a nuisance at best or safety concern at worst.
