The difference between automatic and manual wheel alignment

Automatic and manual wheel alignment primarily differ in their reliance on technology and precision.

Automatic (or computer-aided) alignment uses sensors and a computer to measure and adjust wheel angles, offering higher precision and speed. Automatic wheel alignment makes the job faster but it does not necessarily mean it will be accurate, hence test driving is done after wheel alignment.

NB: Automated or cumputerised wheel alignment is not done by the computer but rather it tells the technician what needs to be adjusted. The technician will still has to turn wrenches, manually.

Manual alignment relies on gauges and string or lasers, which requires a skilled technician and can be more prone to human error, and also it can be more cost-effective.

A lot of factors such as, the suspension, tyres, chassis, vehicle specifications, dimensions and weights; and whether or not the vehicle has been involved in the the car accident plays a major role in the accuracy of your vehicle's wheel alignment. 😉

The purpose of wheel alignment is to ensure that the vehicle does not pull and the steering is straight according to the vehicle's specifications.

Many factors such as the vehicle's suspension (tie rod ends, rack ends, cv joints etc) can affect your vehicle's alignment and it simply means replacement of those parts is of importance for the vehicle's alignment.
