Tire alignment adjusts three suspension geometry angles: toe (are the tires parallel to each other?), camber (are the tires perpendicular to the road?), and caster (the steering axis angle). Proper alignment keeps your tires pointed exactly where the engineer intended, which reduces wear, keeps the vehicle tracking straight, and maximizes fuel efficiency. A wheel alignment uses a computerized rack that measures all four angles simultaneously against the manufacturer's spec. The tech then adjusts tie rods, control arms, or eccentric bolts to bring the angles within tolerance.
Check alignment annually or: (1) after hitting a significant pothole, curb, or road debris, (2) when you notice the vehicle pulling left or right on a straight, level road, (3) when you see uneven tire wear (more wear on inner or outer edge), (4) after replacing suspension or steering components (worn tie rod ends, ball joints, or control arm bushings will throw alignment out of spec), (5) after any collision, even minor impacts that seem cosmetically minor can shift suspension geometry.
Misaligned wheels are safe for driving in the short term but cause accelerating tire wear that becomes expensive. A car 0.5° out of camber spec can reduce tire life by 30–50%, costing you $200–$600 in premature tire replacement. Severe misalignment causes handling changes that affect emergency stability — a car that pulls hard to the right under braking is a safety issue if you need to stop suddenly. Alignment doesn't get better on its own — it only drifts further out of spec as worn suspension components continue to degrade.
Before an alignment, insist on a pre-alignment inspection: worn ball joints, tie rod ends, control arm bushings, or wheel bearings must be replaced before alignment will hold (the alignment will walk out of spec within 1,000 miles if these components have play in them). Red flags: (1) any shop that quotes alignment without a pre-inspection, (2) shops that refuse to show you the before-and-after alignment printout — this is a basic courtesy; if they won't show it, they may not have done the adjustment, (3) 'lifetime alignment' packages for $100–$200 — these are rarely worth the price unless you're planning multiple alignment jobs on the same vehicle.
