Car rear wheel alignment is done using an alignment machine to measure the wheel angles. 

These are calculated and compared against your vehicle’s original specs. Then the technician makes adjustments as needed. 


A real-time computer readout shows when the target angles are met. A report will show the incoming and corrected alignment measurements.

Getting a car rear wheel alignment when you replace tires is one of the best ways to get the most mileage out of them. Be sure to ask for an alignment, since it’s not generally part of the purchase price.
Rear wheels, just like the fronts, can become skewed, and even a little of this can affect tire life and vehicle tracking.

Process of a car rear wheel alignment

1. Inspect steering and suspension system, including tire condition and air pressure
2. Place vehicle on the alignment rack, mount and calibrate sensors
3. Print out initial alignment settings
4. Adjust camber, caster & toe angles
5. Print out final alignment readings
6. Road test vehicles to make sure alignment is not off
