Driving Straight Starts With the Right Setup
If your vehicle pulls, the steering wheel is off-center, or your tires are wearing unevenly, a wheel alignment can help restore safe handling and protect your tire investment.
At Lonsbury Garage in Angola, Indiana, we provide wheel alignments, steering and suspension checks, tire wear evaluations, and ADAS calibration for vehicles equipped with camera and radar-based safety systems.
Alignment & ADAS Services We Offer
We help correct tire wear, pulling, steering concerns, and safety-system calibration needs using vehicle-specific procedures.
2-Wheel & 4-Wheel Alignments
We align vehicles to specification and verify steering wheel position, tracking, and road feel after adjustment.
Tire Wear Evaluation
Uneven wear patterns help us to identify toe, camber, tire pressure, suspension, or rotation issues before more tires are damaged.
Steering & Suspension Checks
We inspect tie rods, ball joints, control arm bushings, wheel bearings, shocks, struts, and related components before alignment.
ADAS Calibration
We verify calibration needs for camera and radar systems after repairs, alignments, windshield replacement, or collision work.
Pre-Scan & Post-Scan
When needed, we scan for ADAS and chassis faults before and after calibration to verify system readiness and operation.
Road-Test Verification
We confirm steering feel, tracking, wheel position, and system operation when the vehicle procedure requires it.
Signs You Need Alignment or Calibration
These symptoms can point to alignment problems, worn steering or suspension parts, tire issues, or ADAS calibration needs.
What Is ADAS Calibration?
Many newer vehicles use cameras, radar, and sensors for safety features like lane departure warning, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, forward collision warning, and blind spot monitoring.
ADAS calibration verifies those systems are aimed and reading correctly after changes that can affect sensor angles or vehicle geometry. Calibration needs vary by vehicle, so we confirm the requirement based on the repair performed and the manufacturer procedure.
Wheel Alignment & ADAS FAQs
What are the signs my vehicle needs a wheel alignment?
Common signs include pulling to one side, a crooked steering wheel, uneven tire wear, steering vibration, wandering, or poor straight-line stability.
Do I need an alignment when I buy new tires?
It is strongly recommended. New tires can wear quickly if alignment angles are off, and an alignment helps protect your tire investment.
Will an alignment fix uneven tire wear?
An alignment helps prevent future uneven wear, but existing wear patterns may remain until tires are rotated or replaced. We will review your tire condition and recommend the best next step.
Does every alignment require ADAS calibration?
No. Not every vehicle requires it, but many do depending on the ADAS system design and manufacturer procedure. We verify requirements based on your specific vehicle and the work performed.
When do I need ADAS calibration?
Calibration may be needed after windshield replacement, collision repairs, suspension or steering repairs, ride height changes, some tire and wheel changes, or when ADAS warning lights appear.
