Alignment Service
Wheel Alignment Service at Performance GMC Cadillac
The wheels on your GMC Canyon, GMC Terrain, or Cadillac XT4 came from the factory precisely aligned. However, as time goes by and you drive more, the wheels will fall out of alignment. Misalignment may happen quickly if you hit a large pothole or curb, or slowly as you drive over the minor bumps on any road. Wheels that are not aligned correctly can cause your tires to wear out more quickly, making your drive more dangerous and less comfortable, so we recommend coming to Performance GMC Cadillac in Lancaster, OH, for wheel alignment service.

Wheel Alignment Service Near Lancaster, OH
We recommend bringing your vehicle to Performance GMC Cadillac near Canal Winchester, OH, for a wheel alignment inspection about once a year (or if you've hit a big pothole, run over a curb, or been in a collision). Our technicians will test the camber, toe, and caster angles and adjust them if needed.
- Two-Wheel Alignment - Also known as a front-end alignment, two-wheel alignment is generally performed on vehicles with a solid rear axle; it involves inspecting and adjusting the camber, toe, and caster angles on the front wheels.

- Four-Wheel Alignment - Vehicles with independent or semi-independent rear suspensions will need to have the camber, toe, and caster angles inspected and adjusted on all four wheels; this is also called an all-wheel alignment.

Symptoms of Poorly Aligned Wheels
If your wheels are not aligned correctly, they may show some signs that something is amiss. If you feel your vehicle pull to one side when you drive -- even if you're driving on a straight and level road -- it may be due to misaligned wheels. Improperly aligned wheels can also cause your steering wheel to be off-center, or they may cause your tires to wear down at an uneven rate. However, mildly misaligned wheels may take a while to display any symptoms.
Two-Wheel Alignment vs. All-Wheel Alignment
You may have heard about all-wheel and two-wheel alignment, but which one does your vehicle need? You may be surprised to learn that it generally has nothing to do with your vehicle being all-wheel drive or two-wheel drive. Instead, it has to do with your suspension. If your vehicle has a solid rear axle, it will generally only need to have the front wheels aligned. Vehicles with independent rear suspensions, on the other hand, will need all four wheels aligned.
