| The
primary function of your car's suspension and steering systems is to allow
the wheels to move independently of the car, while keeping it "suspended"
and stable. Any play or uncontrolled motion in these systems results in
a deterioration of handling and accelerated tire wear. Vehicle alignment
is closely tied to the condition of the suspension and steering systems. |
