Get All-Wheel Drive/4xx4 Alignment at Dogwood Mazda

Mazda vehicles are designed with all-wheel drive (AWD) or 4x4 suspension and require an all-wheel alignment service because each wheel is independent. Our technicians will check all four wheels’ caster, toe, and camber angles and adjust them to Mazda factory specifications. The other type of alignment service is called front-wheel or two-wheel alignment service, in which only the wheels on the front axle are adjusted.

How Wheels on Your Mazda Become Misaligned

The wheels of your Mazda can become misaligned for various reasons. The precise angles of the suspension are disturbed when the wheel is forced to hit an obstacle. Car accidents, such as a fender bender collision, can result in misaligned suspension. Even everyday driving can misalign wheels over time; regular wear and driving habits can knock the wheels off perfect alignment.

When to Get Wheel Alignment Service at Dogwood Mazda

Whether your vehicle needs all-wheel or front-wheel alignment, the alignment is only required if the suspension is misaligned. Therefore, the first step is to get a reliable wheel alignment inspection. At Dogwood Mazda, we carry computerized equipment to measure the angles of the wheels to compare the results to Mazda specifications to determine if wheels require an alignment service.
