Frequently Asked Questions

How often should you get a four wheel alignment?

• Routine checks: have alignment inspected at least once a year or every 6,000–10,000 miles, or at every scheduled service visit if you tow frequently.
• After impacts: get an alignment after hitting large potholes, curbs, or rough trails to prevent accelerated tire wear and handling problems.
• When changing tires or suspension: a full four-wheel alignment is recommended after new tires, steering, or suspension work to meet factory specifications.
• Immediate savings: keeping the 2026 Toyota Land Cruiser aligned improves fuel economy and extends tire life, often costing less in the long run than replacement or suspension repairs.

How do you know if your wheels need alignment?

• Pulling or drifting: the Land Cruiser pulls to one side during normal driving or while braking, indicating misaligned toe or camber.
• Uneven tire wear: visible feathering, cupping, or one-sided wear patterns on tires point to alignment issues.
• Steering wheel off-center: the steering wheel is not centered when driving straight or returns poorly after turns.
• Vibrations or poor handling: vibrations, wandering, or reduced towing stability are signs to have a certified technician check alignment.
