Alignment Service in Gilmer, TX

There are three primary tests that occur during an alignment service that helps determine what issues there are.
The first is the camber test. The camber test occurs when the technician stands at the front of the vehicle and examines the wheels to see if they tilt inward or outward. Problems occur if the bearings or the ball joints are damaged from impact or just worn out from normal use.
The second test is called the toe, which is used to examine the vehicle from above to see if the wheels are angled inward or outward. A problem here is usually caused by poor tire maintenance, improper inflation, or lack of rotation.
The third test is the caster test. Caster is observed from the side of the vehicle to check the angle of the steering axis. Caster allows for efficient handling of curves and cornering. It is vital to keep turning as smooth and seamless as possible.
A final element to alignment is tire maintenance. Tire service, alignment and rotation all go hand in hand to keep your vehicle in its best performance shape, everything from tire pressure, to tread to rotation, balancing and mounting.
