Without the correct alignment setup of a vehicle's suspension you may suffer poor handling, excessive tire wear, higher fuel consumption and even driver fatigue. Incorrect alignment creates resistance of the vehicle's ability to roll freely and causes friction between the tires and road.

How often should I have my alignment checked?
A routine check every 10-15,000 km is usually recommended.
If you had any form of suspension work done like ball joint or tie rod replacement, or
Steering rack boots or suspension bushes replaced, or
If your vehicle suffered severe impact with curbs or large potholes.
What's a 4 wheel alignment and do I need one?
Many modern vehicles are adjustable at all 4 wheels. Find out if your vehicle is adjustable at all 4 wheels, and if so then always have 4 wheel alignment done.
You may have to ask your alignment tech if you want all 4 wheels adjusted.
