Front Wheel Alignment vs 4 Wheel Alignment
Front Wheel Alignment vs 4 Wheel Alignment
Vehicle maintenance is an important part of keeping your vehicle running in top form. Not only that, but it helps to keep your vehicle in a safe condition. This is important because the condition of your vehicle not only impacts you but other drivers and pedestrians. One maintenance component that many consumers neglect is their vehicle's wheel alignment.
For residents of St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Beaumont, Leduc, Spruce Grove, Devon, Stony Plain, Fort Saskatchewan and surrounding areas of Alberta, keeping your wheels aligned is important especially with Alberta's unpredictable weather and road conditions. If you have ever found yourself fighting your steering wheel as you drive down a straight road, then you may need an alignment. Having your wheels properly aligned will ensure a smoother ride, a safer journey, less fuel consumption, and reduced tire wear. Another misconception consumers have is they only need to align their front wheels; however, a 4 wheel alignment is also available, and we will cover the differences in this blog.
Front Wheel Alignment in Edmonton
A front wheel alignment is the most frequent type of alignment performed; they are also known as 2-wheel alignments. Our trained technicians will use advanced technology to make sure your toe, camber and caster adjustments are within manufacturer specifications.
4 Wheel Alignment in Edmonton
A 4 Wheel alignment is extremely beneficial for vehicles that feature all-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive. Also, many modern vehicles offer rear independent suspension, and they will require a 4 wheel alignment. Our technicians will focus on tweaking the caster and front toe adjustment, and for the rear wheels, they will receive a toe and camber adjustment. Please don't hesitate to schedule a service appointment online. The process is very simple!
The Importance of Knowing When You Need a Wheel Alignment
You may not know if you need a front-end or 4-wheel alignment, but that's where our trained technicians will be able to help. If your vehicle is pulling to one side or the other, or you feel you are fighting your wheel to stay straight, then you probably need an alignment.
