• • Tire Wear: Incorrect angles can lead to uneven tire wear, shortening their lifespan.
  • Handling and Stability: Improper alignment can cause a vehicle to pull to one side, make steering difficult, and reduce overall handling performance.
  • Fuel Efficiency: Misaligned wheels can increase rolling resistance, leading to lower fuel economy.

Alignments at Purcell are performed by trained technicians using specialized equipment that measures the angles of the wheels and suspension. They make adjustments to the suspension components to bring the angles within the manufacturer’s specifications.

Wheel alignment is a procedure that adjusts the angles of a vehicle’s wheels and suspension components to ensure they are aligned correctly relative to each other and the road.

  • Fuel Efficiency: Misaligned wheels can increase rolling resistance, leading to lower fuel economy.

• • Camber: The angle of the wheel’s top relative to the vertical axis.
  • Caster: The angle of the steering axis relative to the vertical axis.
  • Toe: The angle of the wheels relative to each other, measured at the front or rear.

When to get an alignment:

• • After installing new tires or suspension parts.
  • If you notice uneven or rapid tire wear.
  • If you hit a pothole or curb.
  • As part of routine maintenance, especially for vehicles with heavier use or older vehicles.
