Keep Your Ride Straight with a Four-Wheel Alignment at GB AUTO BODY

GB AUTO BODY is committed to keeping your car running smoothly and on the road. After all, preventative maintenance is crucial for any vehicle. That’s where our four-wheel alignment service comes in.

What is a Four-Wheel Alignment?

Unlike a two-wheel alignment that focuses solely on the front wheels, a four-wheel alignment inspects and adjusts the positioning of all four wheels. This ensures they’re angled correctly relative to the road surface and each other. There are three key measurements involved:

  • Camber: This refers to the tilt of the tires, either inward (negative camber) or outward (positive camber).
  • Toe: This indicates the direction the tires face, either pointed in (toe-in) or out (toe-out).
  • Caster: This is the angle of the steering axis, influencing how the wheels return to center after a turn.

Proper alignment of these angles is vital for optimal vehicle performance and safety.

Benefits of a Four-Wheel Alignment

Regular four-wheel alignments offer numerous benefits for your car. Here’s how:

  • Extended Tire Life: Misaligned wheels can cause uneven wear on your tires, leading to premature replacements. A four-wheel alignment prevents this, saving you money in the long run.
  • Improved Handling and Stability: Properly aligned wheels ensure your car tracks straight and responds predictably to steering inputs, enhancing overall driving control and stability.
  • Enhanced Fuel Efficiency: Misaligned wheels can increase rolling resistance, reducing your car’s fuel economy. A four-wheel alignment optimizes fuel efficiency by minimizing rolling resistance.
  • Reduced Tire Noise: Misaligned wheels can sometimes generate vibrations that translate into unwanted road noise in the cabin. A four-wheel alignment can quieten your ride.

Signs You Need a Four-Wheel Alignment

Here are some indicators that your car might be due for a four-wheel alignment:

  • Uneven Tire Wear: If you notice your tires are wearing unevenly on the inside or outside edges, misalignment could be the culprit.
  • Pulling to One Side: Does your car tend to drift or pull to the left or right while driving straight? This is a classic sign of misalignment.
  • Off-Center Steering Wheel: If you have to hold the steering wheel slightly off-center to maintain a straight line, your wheels might be misaligned.
  • Recent Collision or Suspension Work: If you’ve recently hit a curb, been in an accident, or had suspension work done, a four-wheel alignment is recommended to ensure proper positioning.
