Align Your Build the Way You Drive It

Custom and Specialty Vehicle Alignments in Cedar City

When you lower your vehicle, change suspension components, or build something outside factory specifications, standard alignment settings no longer apply. You might notice uneven tire wear, pulling during acceleration, or handling that feels unpredictable at speed. These issues show up because your suspension geometry has changed, and the alignment needs to match the new setup. In Cedar City, where modified vehicles are used for performance driving and daily use, getting the alignment right makes the difference between a vehicle that handles well and one that fights you.

Mitchell's Automotive provides custom alignment services for specialty vehicles in Cedar City and the surrounding areas. Alignments are tailored to your driving style, suspension modifications, and how you use the vehicle. Whether your build includes lowered springs, adjustable coilovers, or non-standard suspension arms, the alignment is set to eliminate handling issues common with custom setups. This service is trusted by performance enthusiasts and specialty vehicle owners who need accuracy and repeatable results.

If your modified vehicle is not handling the way you expected or your tires are wearing unevenly, reach out to Mitchell's Automotive in Cedar City to talk through your setup and schedule an alignment.

Why Factory Settings Do Not Work on Modified Suspensions

Custom alignment begins with measuring your current suspension geometry and understanding what you have changed from stock. In Cedar City, where builds range from lowered street cars to track-focused setups, each alignment is adjusted based on camber, caster, and toe settings that suit your modifications. Adjustable components are dialed in to maximize tire contact, improve turn-in response, and reduce wear patterns caused by altered ride height or suspension angles.

After alignment, your vehicle will track straight without constant steering correction, and tire wear will spread evenly across the tread. Handling will feel more predictable through corners, and you will notice better stability under acceleration and braking. Alignments tailored to driving style and vehicle use remove the unpredictability that comes from mismatched geometry.

The service focuses on accuracy and repeatable results, with settings documented so future alignments can be matched if suspension components are replaced or adjusted. It does not include suspension installation, fabrication, or tire mounting, but it does address any alignment-related issue caused by modifications. If your suspension lacks adjustability, options for correcting alignment may be limited without adding adjustable components.

Things People Ask Before Setting Up Their First Custom Alignment

Custom alignments involve more variables than stock setups, so it is normal to have questions about what can be adjusted and what results to expect.

What makes a custom alignment different from a standard one?
A custom alignment adjusts camber, caster, and toe to match your modified suspension and driving style, rather than using factory specifications that no longer apply. Settings are chosen based on how the vehicle is used and what components have been changed.

How does lowering a vehicle affect alignment?
Lowering changes suspension angles, which often increases negative camber and alters toe settings. Without realignment, your tires will wear unevenly and handling will feel less stable, especially during hard cornering or braking.

Why do my tires wear on the inside edge after modifying my suspension?
Excessive negative camber from lowering or suspension changes causes the inside edge of the tire to carry more load. A custom alignment adjusts camber to reduce that wear while maintaining handling performance.

How often should I realign my vehicle after making suspension changes?
You should align your vehicle immediately after any suspension modification in Cedar City, and then recheck alignment if you notice handling changes, uneven tire wear, or after hitting a large pothole or curb.

What if my suspension does not have enough adjustability?
If your suspension lacks adjustable components, alignment correction may require adding camber bolts, adjustable control arms, or toe links. We can assess what adjustments are possible and recommend parts if needed.
