Wheel Alignment

Wheel alignment checks and vehicle-specific adjustments

Wheel alignment sets the angles that affect how tires meet the road and how the vehicle tracks. OOROO checks tires and relevant steering and suspension components before measuring alignment. Adjustments follow vehicle specifications and available adjustment points; damaged or worn parts may need repair first.

When should you request an alignment check?

Watch for pulling and uneven tread wear.

An off-center steering wheel, uneven tire wear, or a change after a curb or pothole impact can justify a check. These symptoms can also involve tire pressure, tire damage, or worn suspension parts. Finding the cause first helps avoid an adjustment that cannot correct the underlying problem.

Wheel Alignment FAQs

Separate alignment from balancing and understand when a check helps.

For general questions about OOROO, visit our customer FAQs.

What is the difference between alignment and wheel balancing?

Alignment concerns the angles of the wheels relative to the vehicle and road. Balancing corrects uneven weight distribution in the wheel-and-tire assembly. Vibration may call for balancing or further diagnosis, while pulling or uneven wear may call for an alignment assessment.

Do I need an alignment when I buy new tires?

An alignment check can help protect new tires, especially if the old set wore unevenly or handling has changed. Whether adjustments are needed depends on the measurements and vehicle guidance. Installing tires alone does not correct an alignment problem.

Can every wheel angle be adjusted?

No. Available adjustments depend on the suspension design. If a nonadjustable angle is outside specification, worn, bent, or shifted components may be involved. The shop should explain the measurements and any additional work needed.

Will an alignment always stop my car from pulling?

No. Tire pressure, tire construction or damage, brake drag, and suspension issues can also cause pulling. Alignment measurements are part of the investigation. A pull that remains after correct alignment may need separate tire or mechanical diagnosis.

How often should alignment be checked?

Follow manufacturer guidance and request a check after a significant impact, relevant suspension repair, or new handling or tire-wear symptoms. There is no single interval for every driver. Road conditions and component condition affect how well alignment is maintained.
