What is Wheel Alignment?
Wheel alignment involves fine-tuning your vehicle's suspension, the system that connects a vehicle to its wheel. When you bring your vehicle into our services department at Dantin Chevrolet for a wheel alignment, neither the tire nor the wheels will be adjusted. Instead, our technicians adjust the angle of the tires to affect how they contact near Napoleonville roads. Wheel alignment is complex as it involves the measurement of many different angles and adjustment of suspension components.
What Causes Your Vehicle to Go Out of Alignment?

Anytime you hit something, whether it is a curb or a medium, or another type of obstacle, your suspension can change slightly.

- Steering while vibration
- Steering wheel is off-center when driving straight
