Wheel Alignment in San Antonio, TX

What an alignment actually does

An alignment does not touch the tires themselves. It adjusts the suspension angles that decide how each tire meets the road. The three that matter most are camber, the tilt in or out, toe, whether the tires point straight ahead or slightly toward each other, and caster, which affects steering feel and stability.

When those angles drift, the car still drives, but the tires scrub instead of rolling cleanly. That wears them out early and unevenly.

Signs you need one

• The car drifts or pulls when you let go of the wheel on a straight road
• The steering wheel is off center when you are driving straight
• Tires wearing faster on the inside or outside edge
• You just hit a big pothole or curb, or had suspension or steering parts replaced
• You put on new tires and want them to last

A vibration is usually a balance issue rather than alignment. If that sounds like your car, see tire balancing.

Alignment and the rest of your car

An alignment can only be set correctly if the parts it adjusts are in good shape. Worn tie rods, ball joints, or control arm bushings will not hold an angle. If we find worn parts, we will show you before recommending suspension repair.

Alignment is done at 12040 O'Connor Rd. Lifted and leveled trucks need an alignment after the install too, which is part of our lift kit and leveling kit work.
