JDM Wheel Alignment FAQ
Q1: Do lowered cars need a different alignment?
Yes. Lowering changes suspension geometry (camber/caster/toe). We set specs that recover tire contact patch and reduce inner-edge wear while keeping your preferred handling.
Q2: Can you align cars with camber plates or adjustable arms?
Absolutely. We work with camber plates, eccentric bolts, LCAs, toe links, and coilovers daily and will set them to achieve your target specs.
Q3: I want a track/drift setup—can you optimize for that?
Yes. We’ll discuss your tires, track, and driving style to set camber, caster, and toe that suit track, autocross, or drift priorities.
Q4: Will an alignment fix my steering wheel being off-center?
In most cases, yes. Proper toe and centering procedures return the wheel to straight ahead; we road-test to confirm.
Q5: How often should I get an alignment?
At least every 12 months or any time you change ride height, wheels/tires, hit a pothole/curb, or notice uneven wear or pulling.

Pre-Alignment Checklist:
Before bringing your car in for alignment, please ensure the following:
- Confirm that the steering and suspension are in safe, proper working condition.
- Check that the front tie rods are not seized, as we do not use heat to free them up.
- Inspect ball joints, bushings, and tie rods for signs of wear or play.
- Ensure bearings are not loose or worn, and there are no leaking struts or shocks.
- Verify the steering box for minor play, and ensure tires are safe for driving.
- The vehicle must be capable of running under its own power.
- If the vehicle underwent restoration, ensure all work has been double-checked by the facility/person responsible. If unsure, book a steering/suspension re-torque before the alignment appointment.
- We will proceed with the alignment once the vehicle passes our inspection
Please note, should any components fail inspection, there will be a charge for the inspection as our technicians invest time in this process. We aim to avoid wasting your time and money by addressing these issues upfront.
Please request a steering and suspension inspection if you do not know the condition of your vehicle.
Thorough inspections and prioritize safety to prevent any future issues.
