Alignment
What
is the purpose or reason for getting a wheel alignment?
Here
are three good reasons:
Prolong
tire life.
Make the
vehicle track straight.
Make the
vehicle more comfortable to drive.

Why should you take
your vehicle to Can-Alignment for your alignment? At Can-Alignment
your alignment is set to your vehicle and the way it's driven.
All alignments are
not the same, even on similar vehicles. For example, we might have
two identical Corvettes booked for an alignment on the same day. One driven
by a 65 year old man and the other by 28 year old. There is a good chance
that these two identical cars would be driven differently. Many
alignment shops just "set to spec" or "just toe & go". At Can-Alignment
we talk to you about how you drive and then set your car up accordingly.
Other things for
consideration are if you use your auto for what the manufacturer intended?
Do you still have tire wear after having an alignment done ? Do you
tow a trailer? Do you load your vehicle? Do you drive country
roads or highway? Is your vehicle lowered? Do you take it out to the
track? All
of these are just some possible situations that require a change of
alignment settings.
Corner Balancing
If your vehicle has a coil-over suspension system, then corner
balancing is absolutely the next step. This inexpensive enhancement
should be completed when you book your alignment. By weighing
the four corners of the car, your vehicle's handling can be
improved by ensuring that the car is properly balanced. At Can-alignment
they will be happy to discuss your vehicle's needs and whether
or not corner balancing is necessary for your driving style
and vehicle. They can obtain a coil-over system for you if it
is required.
