A wheel aligner is a mechanical device or machine used to align the wheels of a vehicle.  Some wheel aligners are simple lasers that are bolted to a vehicle wheel and shine a straight laser line to the other wheel on that side of the vehicle to assess whether the wheels are in line.  Other more advanced wheel aligners, often called CCD aligners, use a combination of lasers, cameras and computer-controlled software to make accurate measurements of the wheel positions both against each other and to the manufacturer's recommendations, usually stored in a database as part of the wheel aligner software program.

Wheel alignment sometimes referred to as wheel tracking, is part of the standard car and vehicle maintenance that consists of adjusting the angles of wheels to the car manufacturer's specifications.
The purpose of making these adjustments is to reduce tyre wear and to ensure that the vehicle travels in a straight line, keeping the steering wheel straight without pulling to one side or the other.
This is important for maintaining the vehicle and keeping it running smoothly. Wheel alignment can help improve fuel economy, as well as prolong the life of the vehicle tyres, as incorrect wheel alignment or tracking can cause excessive tyre wear on one side.
Motorsport and off-road vehicles may require alignment angles to be adjusted well beyond the normal manufacturer recommendations, and you would not use a standard vehicle wheel aligner for these exceptions.

Wheel alignment is the adjustment of a vehicle's suspension components. The most common adjustments are to the caster, camber and toe angles. However, other adjustments can be made to the vehicle's suspension. The purpose of these adjustments is to reduce tyre wear and to ensure that vehicle travels in a straight line without excess force pulling to one side or another.
It is generally recommended to get a wheel alignment at least once a year.

The correct wheel aligner depends on a number of factors:

  • What kind and size of vehicle do you intend to align the wheels on?
  • How accurate you would like the alignment of the wheels to be?
  • What space do you have for the aligner?
  • What budget do you have to spend on a wheel alignment machine?
  • How many wheel alignments will you be doing per day?

No matter which wheel alignment machine you choose, it is important to have it calibrated and maintained in line with the equipment service and repair schedule for that machine, to ensure accuracy. You should also have it used by a qualified technician who knows how to use the machine properly.

Here are some additional factors to consider when choosing a wheel alignment machine:

  • The class of vehicle you have: Some machines are designed for specific types of vehicles, such as cars or HVGs. Make sure to choose a machine that is compatible with your class of vehicle.
  • The features you need: Some machines have more features than others, such as the ability to measure caster and camber angles. Choose a machine that has the features you need or would prefer.
