wheel alignment

Tire angle correction

Wheel alignment is the adjustment of a vehicle's suspension so that all wheels point in the optimal direction.

Proper alignment ensures even tire wear and straight tracking.

Signs of misalignment include the steering wheel pulling to one side or uneven tread wear.

The mechanic said I need a wheel alignment after hitting that pothole.
