Alignment Overview
A wheel alignment is the process of adjusting the angles of your vehicle's steering and suspension components back to original specifications. Potholes, curbs, and even normal everyday driving can cause the angles to move out of specifications. Utilizing computerized equipment, the angles are measured and compared to the manufacture's specified angles. From there, a Morrison Tire technician will make adjustments as needed. The alignments can be two-wheel or four-wheel depending on the manufacturer's request.
