The car goes on an alignment rack. The tech measures camber, caster and toe, then adjusts the tie rods and other adjusters to factory spec and prints a before-and-after sheet. Ask for it.
Signs you need it
- Car pulls to one side on a straight road
- Steering wheel is off-center
- Uneven or fast tire wear on one edge
- After new tires, suspension work or a hard pothole
What changes the price
- Four-wheel alignments cost more than front-only
- Seized adjusters or extra hardware add time
- Cars with lane-keep cameras may need a calibration afterward
Shop or do it yourself?
Not practical without an alignment rack.
