alignment check
Checking proper positioning
An alignment check is a procedure to verify that components are properly positioned relative to each other.
In automotive contexts, it ensures wheels are set to manufacturer specifications for optimal handling and tire wear.
In printing and computing, it confirms text or elements are correctly positioned.
The term extends to any systematic verification that parts or processes are calibrated and working together as intended: The technician ran an alignment check before we left the shop.
