How Is Front-End Alignment Performed?

Since you’re already at our dealership, you’re in good hands. As our trained specialist fixes your Mazda, you can sit in the customer lounge, have coffee and snacks, and catch up on your favorite shows with free Wi-Fi.   

The work begins as the technician checks the tire pressure, inspects the front-end suspension for worn or damaged parts (such as ball joints, tie rod ends, or control arm bushings), makes the necessary repairs and replacements, and uses specialized equipment to measure the alignment angles of the wheels.  

Subsequently, the technician will fine-tune the alignment angles by aligning the tie rods or other suspension components. The wheels have to be aligned to the specifications recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Once the calibrations have been made, the technician will test drive the vehicle. 

Which Signs Indicate That Your Mazda Needs a Front-End Alignment?

Suppose you notice any of the following signs. In that case, it’s essential to have your vehicle’s alignment checked and corrected as soon as possible to avoid further damage to your tires or suspension system. 

• Uneven or rapid tire wear
• Pulling or drifting to one side
• Crooked or vibrating steering wheel
• Squealing tires
