The
alignment is defined as the proper placement and adjustment of wheels, axles,
frames, and suspension parts on a vehicle. Wheels alignment ensures that the
tires roll straight and touch the road uniformly while driving in a straight
line. Suspension alignment at the auto body shop Coral Springs refers to
the correct positioning of all the parts such as control arms, struts, and
shocks, that are used to connect the wheels with the vehicle frame. Frame
alignment means that the vehicle frame and body are straight, not twisted or
bent from an accident.
Why does
alignment matter?
Having
the wheels, suspension, and frame out of alignment can lead to several
problems:
·
Tires
will wear out at a faster rate or unevenly, thus requiring earlier replacement
·
While
driving, the vehicle will be pulling to one side which makes driving very
difficult
·
The
car will not be able to turn around corners and curves
·
Tires
drag and complain loudly during turns
·
Additional
drag from misalignments lowers MPG
How do
repair shops align vehicles?
Before
repairing the alignment, there is a need to conduct a detailed examination
using alignment machines. This measures the angles of wheels and suspension
components. The laser alignment machines are the computerized systems, which
give accurate measurements of misalignments. The technician at the auto body
repair Pompano Beach will then realign components according to the
manufacturer’s specifications. Road testing confirms that everything is
straightened out before returning the car.
