| In its most basic form, a wheel alignment consists of adjusting the angles of the wheels so that they are perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other. The purpose of these adjustments is maximum tire life and a vehicle that tracks straight and true when driving along a straight and level road. At West Body Shop, we use the Hunter 4 Wheel Alignment System to master your alignment needs. |

There are two main types of 4-wheel
alignments. In each case, the technician will place an instrument on all
four wheels. In the first type the rear toe and tracking is checked, but
all adjustments are made at the front wheels. This is done on vehicles
that do not have adjustments on the rear. The second type is a full 4-wheel
alignment where the adjustments are first made to true up the rear alignment,
then the front is adjusted. A full 4-wheel alignment will cost more than
the other type because there is more work involved.

Pulling problems are not always related to wheel alignment, problems with tires, brakes and power steering can also be responsible. It is up to a good wheel alignment technician to determine the cause. |
