Front-end alignment, sometimes called two-wheel alignment, checks only the front wheel angles. This may be fine for old rear-wheel drive vehicles, but it doesn't check if the front tires are properly positioned in front of the rear tires. To do this, you need a 4-wheel alignment ... Four-wheel alignment checks the front wheel angles, the rear wheel angles, and the thrust angle alignment as well.

Key term(s)
  • four wheel alignment
