Correctly aligned wheels and tires improve driver safety, driver control and make the most of the life of your tires. Poor suspension alignment and cockeyed wheels and tires can reduce the life of your tires and void aftermarket warranties by causing premature and patchy treadwear.

There are vehicles that require additional suspension parts that will be necessary to return the steering and suspension geometry to its original alignment specifications. The John Bean alignment equipment joined with the Ratchet Brothers team of technician's will correctly diagnose and recommend the correct alignment solution for your vehicle.
