Introduction
After a collision, even a minor one, your vehicle may seem “fine” on the surface — the body is intact, the engine starts, and there’s no visible damage. But if your steering feels off, your car drifts to one side, or your tires are wearing unevenly, these are signs that your wheel alignment has been thrown out of balance.
At Mann Auto Collision Centre, we’ve seen it time and time again: post-collision misalignment that, if ignored, can lead to safety issues, premature tire wear, and poor vehicle performance. Here’s why a professional alignment check is essential after an accident — and how we help drivers across Brampton and the GTA stay safe on the road.
What Is Wheel Alignment?
Wheel alignment refers to the angles at which your wheels meet the road. A proper alignment ensures your tires make even contact with the pavement, supporting stable handling, optimal tire wear, and fuel efficiency. The main components of alignment include:
- Toe – the angle your tires point inward or outward
- Camber – the vertical tilt of your tires
- Caster – the angle of your steering axis
How Collisions Affect Wheel Alignment
Collisions — even low-speed ones — can impact your suspension, steering, and wheel angles. Common scenarios that cause misalignment include:
- Hitting a curb or pothole during an accident
- Side or frontal impacts that push the wheels out of position
- Damage to the control arms, tie rods, or struts
- Frame shifts that alter wheel geometry
