• Not always required at every oil or tire rotation
• Recommended after new tires, suspension repairs, or impacts
• Measurement-based approach prevents unnecessary service

Schedule an alignment as soon as possible after a significant pothole impact, curb strike, or if you notice handling changes.

The four-wheel alignment service for a 2012 Dodge Challenger follows a step-by-step process designed to return steering geometry to factory targets. The technician begins with a visual suspension and tie-rod inspection, checks tire pressures and tread condition, and records initial alignment readings. Next, caster, camber, and toe are measured on all four corners and adjusted to factory specification.
