​When should the wheel alignment be adjusted, and is it always necessary?

​Wheel alignment must be adjusted" - almost always, even after a minor suspension repair, you can hear these words from auto repair mechanics. In reality, "wheel alignment" refers to checking and adjusting the angles of the steerable wheels, and sometimes also the angles of the rear wheels.

Almost every intervention in the suspension, whether it's a repair or maintenance, leads to adjusting the wheel alignment. In what situations is it recommended to check the wheel alignment status?

• ​After changing or repairing suspension components
• After repairing the steering system, it should always be checked and often adjusted. If the wheel alignment is correct or has been successfully adjusted, everything has been fixed correctly.
• Uneven tire wear – it's definitely time to adjust the wheel angles.
• Incorrect wheel alignment immediately after purchasing the car. Besides replacing worn parts, it's advisable to check the wheel angles to avoid premature tire replacement.
• After a traffic accident. After the car has been deformed, it can lose its straight line and stability. Therefore, this procedure is justified.
• After seasonal tire changes, it's important to check and, if necessary, adjust the car's suspension if winter and summer tires have different diameters. Different settings can lead to changes in handling and, consequently, undesirable consequences, even accidents.

​In other cases, it's simply a precaution for the safety of your car.
