Correct wheel alignment improves handling & braking, saves fuel and helps maximize tire life. Along with quality tires and top-notch suspension & brake products, proper wheel alignment works to keep the maximum possible tire contact with the road in every driving condition. As such, alignment is a very important safety-related maintenance operation.
Precision Auto Body uses a computerized alignment system engineered by Hunter, long considered one of the premier manufacturers of such equipment in the industry. To ensure accuracy, our equipment is updated and calibrated annually.
Prior to setting your vehicle up on our Hunter, our technician road-tests your vehicle at city speeds to determine its’ handling characteristics, inspects the tires for abnormal wear patterns and thoroughly inspects the steering linkage and suspension for wear. The results of these checks are correlated with any symptoms you may have noticed and our technician uses this information to determine the adjustments best suited to your vehicle and driving conditions.
In some cases, it may be necessary to modify the suspension to enable adjustments to be made. This is especially true on many front-wheel drive vehicles, because the manufacturer does not always provide the means to make adjustments which would be needed to correct any wear or damage induced by collision or – in many cases – harsh driving conditions. Of course, modifications may add to the cost, in which case the decision to proceed is left up to the customer, as it is with all repairs we recommend.
