Alignment is the process of making sure all 4 wheels point in the same direction, which will cause the vehicle to drive straight and not drift. Performing this service regularly (yearly or after the vehicle starts drifting) will extend the life of your tires. Alignment is measured in degrees of camber (tire leaning inward or outward), caster (forward or backward slope of steering components in relation to the McPherson struts) and toe (the direction the tires are pointing). Toe-in means that the tires are pointing inward; toe-out means that the tires are pointing outward. Most vehicles are “averaged” for everyday driving.

Also known as a car or front-end alignment, a wheel alignment is a critical adjustment performed to ensure that your Acura tracks straight and true as you cruise down the road. Poor alignment can cause premature tire wear, suspension failure, unsafe operation, excessive steering wheel play, driver fatigue and more.
Proper car, truck or SUV operation is a balancing act that depends on a combination of power, acceleration, steering and braking. It requires proper alignment specifications and well-maintained suspension components. Tires, steering mechanisms, shock absorbers and springs must work properly with each other for continued reliable service.
Simply put, a vehicle that is out of alignment means that your wheels are pointing in different directions. This, in turn, causes accelerated and uneven tire wear as well as causing your vehicle to pull to the right or the left.
The good news? This situation is easily correctible. Your local Chevrolet service department, tire retailer or local automotive service center is ready and able to straighten things out for you.
Precise wheel alignment does not last for the life of your car. Even a brand-new vehicle can have a chance encounter with a curb or pothole. These impacts can cause your vehicle to fall out of alignment instantaneously. In most cases, alignment can degrade gradually and almost imperceptibly over time as components start to show wear.
In the past, as with body-on-frame vehicles and those having non-independent rear suspensions, front-end alignment was usually all you needed to have you on the straight and narrow again. With today’s unibody designs and multilink independent rear suspensions, four-wheel alignment is recommended to have all tires working together and tracking in the same direction.
Depending on the adjustments available on your vehicle, alignment is a procedure that involves adjusting the camber, the outward or inward tilt of the tires when view head-on; caster, a front or rear tilt when viewed from the side; and toe, which way your tires are pointed when viewed from above.
Toe-in means they are pointed inward, toe-out means they are turning away from each other.
Tire alignment services require specialized equipment and trained technicians who have the proper tools to diagnose, repair, replace and properly align your vehicle. It’s not an easy fix like changing your motor oil and should be done by a dealership or repair shop.
While they check alignment, consult with them on wheel balancing, as well. Vibrations can crop up from an out of balance tire, which in turn causes excessive tire wear. With so many components responsible for specific causes and subsequent affects, it’s a good idea to have all these exams and services performed at the same time.
Here’s how you can tell: Maybe your Chevrolet drifts left or right, especially when you apply the brakes. Or you notice you need a lot of steering effort while driving down the highway to keep you in your lane. Or you may feel a bit of shimmy and shake from the steering wheel.
These are all clear signs that you may need an alignment.
A vehicle out of alignment can result in excessive tire wear. When the wheels aren’t lined up straight, there’s a constant scuff that works against normal tread wear. You’ll notice that the tire tread is disappearing prematurely and unevenly across the tire’s surface. This also can cause a loss of traction, especially in wet conditions. Uneven tire wear, if ignored, can also contribute to premature tire failure or a blowout.
Imperfections in the road surfaces could be your vehicle’s worst enemy in keeping proper alignment. If you regularly drive on poorly maintained roads or one riddled with potholes or accidentally hit a curb or a parking bumper, you may knock your Chevrolet out of alignment.
But even before you take the car in, perform a check of your tire’s inflation. Having one tire measure substantially more or less than what the owner’s manual calls for could cause the same effect of drifting left or right or vibration in the steering.
Experts recommends an alignment check every six months or 6,000 miles, whichever comes first. Regardless, don’t let your vehicle go more than 10,000 miles without having someone check the alignment. It’s a good idea to have your tires checked for alignment bi-annually, or any time you have your tires rotated.
The other time you should absolutely have your tires aligned is when you replace them. Properly balanced and aligned when placed on your vehicle, this will ensure they wear evenly from the start. Placing new tires on an improperly aligned vehicle will end up costing you more in the long run, because your new tires will continue to wear in the same manner as the previous set.

Although these words are used together, they actually have different meanings. They are indicate the two most important operations for adjusting the angles of the wheels in relation to the suspension.
If you look at the front of the car on which the camber angles were set, then the wheels on the front the axes will be tilted slightly outward at a small angle from the vertical.
Camber angles of the right and left wheels must be as close as possible in value, otherwise the car will pull to the side when driving.

Toe is the same but viewed from above. The front wheels of the car should look slightly inward.
Finely tuned camber settings give you better control on the road – even if release the steering wheel, the car should not be pulled to the side - the muscles of the hands are not in constant tension from maintaining a straight line and you are less tired on long trips. Generally turn the steering wheel during turns it is easier, this is especially noticeable in the absence of an amplifier. It also improves maneuverability. car – it is easier to enter turns, the tendency to skid is reduced due to optimal contact of the tire with expensive.
In winter, this is especially important - due to misalignment, a weak and inaccurate reaction to movement steering, tight control can pretty fray your nerves.
By maintaining the factory-specified settings, you make your machine safer and more comfortable in management and save you money! Wheel alignment significantly increases wear tires, increases fuel consumption and extremely accelerates the wear of other suspension components. For example, due to camber disorders in a month can "kill" a completely new set of tires, because due to friction it will be strongly erased in one place.
For domestic cars, it is recommended to undergo this procedure every 10-15 thousand km., For foreign cars - every 20-30 thousand km. However, sometimes it is worth going through an unscheduled wheel alignment if:
It is necessary to do a wheel alignment after installing new tires or replacing worn suspension parts - in order to avoid new tire costs.
According to the method of data transmission, stands are divided into cord, infrared, radio channel and 3D. For diagnostics and We use the Hunter Win Align computer 3D stand to adjust the camber. We chose 3D technology, since such stands have several advantages over the others at once - they are fast, accurate and measure not only the angles of the wheels, but give complete information about the geometry of the body and suspension in in general. Regulation on such equipment allows you to take into account the features of the body of your car.
This means that we can perform all the necessary operations faster and with greater accuracy. Thus, we we save your time and guarantee the quality of work.
The Koleso TIRE PLUS company in Kaluga has several service centers located in different parts of the city. You can choose the address for the provision of wheel alignment services in a place convenient for you.

Without hesitation I put 5 points: In the heat of + 30 ° C on the M11 highway, the air conditioning stopped, which was an unpleasant surprise.
During the stop, I signed up through tyrnet. The manager called back within 20 minutes, confirmed the appointment and then the fun began. The next morning, the master connected his shaitan machine and after 15 minutes, pointing his finger at an almost invisible hole, made a heartfelt speech, the essence of which was as follows: find a specialist in refrigerators, let him change this particular stray, the name will be in the diagnostic report, and I'll pump out the freon, because you don't have to pay money for something that won't be there by the evening. As a result, I paid only for diagnostics and was very pleased with the quality of service.

Today, almost every family has a car, because the vehicle simplifies and speeds up the activities associated with moving around the city and between cities. Also, the vehicle is very useful when transporting small loads. But the car requires timely maintenance and technical inspection, if not performed, the risk of a sudden breakdown increases. Let's talk more about computer wheel alignment 3D.
This service is also called camber, camber is indicated in degrees and this term means the position of the wheel at the correct angle.
Let's decipher the term itself, camber is the position between the midpoint of the wheel relative to the road surface, the resulting angle is calculated in degrees. The correct angle guarantees excellent grip of the wheels with the road surface and stable vehicle control. In the event that the camber is not set correctly, this leads to rapid tire wear and, accordingly, problems with driving.
If camber is the position of the wheels in a straight line, then convergence is the critical angle of the wheels. Toe-in is measured in millimeters or angular meters, as is camber. Toe refers to the difference in distance between the rear and front points of the wheel rims. If during the measurement it turned out that the distance between the front points is much less than between the rear ones, then such a convergence is called positive. If the situation is exactly the opposite, then we are talking about a negative convergence. If the wheels are parallel to each other, then this convergence is called zero.
So, the wheel alignment service is the adjustment of the position of the wheels, as well as the steering wheel for safe driving.
This service is provided in car services using special equipment. Among the variety of car repair shops, you should pay attention to the Koleso-OZ car service - sign up for a wheel alignment. This car service offers you a quality service using the latest generation equipment.
Let's list the advantages of contacting the Koleso-OZ car service:
This car service center is customer-oriented, so the masters are sympathetic to the problems of customers.
Quality is important for us, therefore we carry out all work on professional equipment from the Italian company Hofmann and use a 3D wheel alignment stand (toe alignment) HOFMANN Geoliner 650 XD lift KIT
Experts recommend contacting a car service for this service when the car passes every 10-15 thousand kilometers. If we are talking about foreign cars, then for them the recommended interval is 30 thousand kilometers. Experts recommend applying for this service even unscheduled if you suddenly find yourself in a large road pit and dents in the rim are noticed. And also if you notice that during the movement the car began to divert to the side.
After the camber adjustment, you will get:
