Suspension wear often develops gradually. A proper inspection checks joints, bushes, dampers, steering components and tyre wear patterns so the repair addresses the cause rather than only the symptom.
Wheel alignment is most effective after worn or loose suspension components are repaired. Aligning a vehicle with excessive movement can mask rather than fix the problem.
