How much does it cost to get an alignment?
A front-end alignment usually costs between $65 and $100 (some brands, of course, are more). At that price, it should be a regular part of your car care regime. To make an alignment even more economical, some car care facilities offer lifetime alignment packages for around $200.
- Vehicle pulling to the left or right.
- Uneven or rapid tire wear.
- Your steering wheel is crooked when driving straight.
- Squealing tires.
A 2-wheel alignment, also known as a front-end alignment, means the technician performs the service on only the front wheels, which may include a camber, toe, and caster adjustment. In some cases, a ‘thrust angle adjustment’ may be necessary, to ensure that all four wheels are ‘square’ with one another.
The purpose of a Front-End alignment is to ensure that your suspension components are adjusted to the proper angles. It is important to make sure that you can drive your vehicle safely.
A small misalignment will shorten tire life by a few thousand miles and a major misalignment will wear tires out in a few hundred miles. Get an alignment if the car wanders, pulls to one side or shakes while driving.
