Wheel Alignment

1998 Saturn SL2 L4-1.9L DOHC VIN 7SECTION Wheel Alignment
Wheel alignment refers to the angular relationship between a vehicles wheels, suspension attaching points, and the ground. Vehicles with properly aligned front and rear suspensions handle predictably, and provide good straight line stability on the highway with minimal tire wear. In real world driving conditions, wheel alignment settings change over time due to suspension component wear or damage; they must be periodically checked and adjusted as necessary.
