Proper wheel alignment is more than just an adjustment; it's a critical factor in how your vehicle handles and how long your tires last. Our expert team focuses on three key angles to ensure your vehicle's alignment is perfect: toe, camber, and caster.
There are three angles critical to an alignment:
Toe Alignment: refers to the direction your tires point relative to each other when viewed from above. Incorrect toe settings can lead to either toe-in, causing outer tire wear, or toe-out, leading to wear on the inside of your tires. The right setting helps avoid premature tire wear and is determined by your vehicle's design and operational dynamics.
Camber: is the tilt of your tires relative to the road surface. Negative camber means the top of the tire leans inward; positive camber means it leans away from the vehicle. This angle is crucial for maintaining grip during turns and ensuring even tire wear across the tread.
Caster: is the angle of your steering axis when viewed from the side of your vehicle. It affects stability, steering effort, and cornering effectiveness. Whether you have negative caster (tilt toward the front) or positive caster (tilt toward the back), proper adjustment is key to easy steering and uniform tire wear.
At AV Tire Service, we understand the importance of these adjustments. Whether you're installing new tires or noticing uneven wear and handling issues, our alignment check can diagnose and correct any misalignments to optimize your vehicle's performance and extend your tires' lifespan.
