  • Technician inspects tie rods, ball joints, control arms, and struts.

  • We re-check alignment after any suspension repairs to confirm factory specs.

If the van tracks straight and shows no tire wear or steering issues, immediate alignment is not always necessary, but it is recommended after symptoms or component replacement.

  • Recommended after tire replacement, heavy loading, or suspension work.
  • Preventive alignment can extend tire life and improve fuel economy.
