What is computerised wheel alignment?

Computerised Wheel Alignment (CCD) is pretty self-explanatory – a computer that can measure and calculate wheel misalignment. The machine measures the position of the wheel relative to the body of the vehicle and calculates what changes are needed to ensure correct wheel alignment. The computer is then able to recheck the wheel alignment to ensure it is within tolerances.
