Worn tie rods, ball joints, bushings, or struts can prevent an alignment from holding.

Our Medford technicians inspect the front and rear suspension before making adjustments and will explain whats needed if parts are failing. This protects tire life and ensures the alignment lasts.

- Uneven ride height can change alignment angles
- Fresh components help the vehicle maintain settings

Where adjustable, we bring angles back to BMW specifications, prioritizing even tire wear and straight-line tracking.
