What alignment protects
Four-wheel alignment helps protect the new tyres, centre the steering wheel and set a stable handling baseline. On a Subaru STI, poor toe or camber can quickly create shoulder wear or make the car feel nervous on uneven roads.
Alignment is especially useful when the car has new performance wheels, new tyres, previous uneven wear or any change in suspension condition.
GEO relevance
For Adelaide STI owners, the setup needs to work on real roads: Magill Road traffic, wet winter braking, hot summer surfaces and Adelaide Hills driving. Good tyres and wheels still need correct setup to perform properly.
