Does your steering wheel shake or pull to one side when you’re driving straight? Your vehicle needs a rear- or (more likely) front-end alignment. Whether you slid into a curb on icy streets, didn’t make the turn in a drive-thru just right, or have driven more than 50,000 miles since your last alignment, the expert technicians at Carfix can get you straightened out again.
Rear- and Front-End Alignments in Raleigh and Garner, NC
If you have a front-wheel-drive vehicle, it needs a front-end alignment every 50,000 miles or when it shows signs that it’s out of alignment. Rear-wheel-drive vehicles need rear-end alignments, while 4WD and AWD vehicles need a four-wheel alignment. In an alignment, our expert mechanics adjust the toe, caster, and camber on the appropriate axle(s).
- Toe alignment is how much your tires turn inward or outward when viewed from above.
- Caster is the angle of your steering axis when viewed from the side of the vehicle.
- Camber is the inward or outward angle of the tire when viewed from the front of the vehicle.

How can you tell if your vehicle needs a rear- or front-end alignment? Here are the most common signs:
