With all the potholes on Edmonton’s roads and bouncing off curbs in winter having a Wheel Alignments done properly every year will maximize your tire life and will allow your vehicle to ride in a straight line. A properly aligned vehicle means a smoother ride, better gas mileage, and a longer tire life. It can improve your overall safety by increasing the amount of the tire in contact with the road and preventing your vehicle from pulling to the left or the right.

At Central Tire Edmonton we use a Hunter 4 wheel computerized alignment machine and make sure all 4 wheels are in alignment spec and your steering wheel is centered.

Hunter 4-wheel alignment is a type of wheel alignment service that uses a Hunter alignment system to align all four wheels of a vehicle. This is important for maintaining proper tire wear, handling, and overall vehicle performance.

The Hunter alignment system uses cameras and sensors to measure the position of each wheel in relation to the vehicle's frame, and then provides detailed data and analysis to the technician. The technician can then make precise adjustments to the alignment angles of each wheel to ensure that they are all properly aligned.

During a Hunter 4-wheel alignment, the technician will typically perform the following steps:

1. Inspection: The technician will inspect the vehicle's tires, suspension, and steering components to ensure that they are in good condition and functioning properly.
2. Adjustment: Using the Hunter alignment system, the technician will measure and adjust the camber, caster, and toe angles of each wheel to ensure that they are within the manufacturer's specifications.
3. Test Drive: After the alignment is complete, the technician will test drive the vehicle to ensure that it handles and performs properly.

Proper alignment is important for maximizing the life of your tires, improving fuel efficiency, and ensuring safe and stable handling. It's recommended to have your alignment checked at least once per year or whenever you notice signs of uneven tire wear or handling issues.

An alignment is just another preventative maintenance step in making sure your vehicles mechanical component's are not wearing out prematurely which our trained technicians can tell.
