What’s the difference between 2-wheel and 4-wheel alignment machines?
2-wheel machines check only the front wheels. 4-wheel systems give full readings across all four corners, ideal for precise tracking and handling issues.
Do I need a lift to use a wheel alignment machine?
Yes — ideally a 4-post or scissor lift with alignment runways. This gives you clear access and a level surface for accurate readings.
What’s the difference between CCD and 3D alignment systems?
CCD uses digital sensors on clamps. 3D uses cameras and targets for faster, more detailed readings. 3D tends to be quicker but needs more setup space.
Can I use the same machine for vans and cars?
Most machines support both, but check the spec sheet for wheel size and vehicle type support.
