If tie rods, ball joints, control arms, or struts are worn, an alignment won’t hold and parts should be repaired first.
Our Lexus-certified technicians inspect for play, torn bushings, and bent components before adjustments. If we find wear, we’ll explain options and get approval before any work. This protects tire life and ensures the alignment stays within spec.
