4 Wheel Laser Alignment

  • We offer complete wheel alignment not just simple tracking which most garages offer you.
  • Types of alignment - Types of alignments offered today are front-end, thrust angle, and four-wheel. During a front-end alignment, only the front axle's angles are measured and adjusted. Front-end alignments are fine for some vehicles featuring a solid rear axle, but confirming that the front tyres are positioned directly in front of the rear tyres is also important.
  • On a solid rear axle vehicle, this requires a thrust angle alignment that allows the R-Tec technician to confirm that all four wheels are "square" with each other. Thrust angle alignments also identify vehicles that would "crab" going down the road with the rear end offset from the front.
  • On all vehicles with four-wheel independent suspensions, or front-wheel drive vehicles with adjustable rear suspensions, the appropriate alignment is a four-wheel alignment. This procedure "squares" the vehicle like a thrust angle alignment, and also includes measuring and adjusting the rear axle angles as well as the front.
  • Not all vehicles are easily adjustable or fully adjustable. Some vehicles require aftermarket kits to allow sufficient adjustment to compensate for accident damage or the change in alignment due to the installation of lowering springs.
  • When aligning a vehicle, it's appropriate for the vehicle to be carrying its "typical" load. This is important for drivers who continuously carry loads in their vehicles, such as sales representatives with samples or literature in the trunk.
  • The primary static suspension angles that need to be measured and adjusted are caster, camber, toe and thrust angle.
