Wheel alignment is a critical aspect of maintaining your Subaru Outback (BR) to ensure optimal performance, safety, and longevity of your vehicle. Proper wheel alignment involves adjusting the angles of the wheels to meet the manufacturer's specifications, ensuring that they are perpendicular to the ground and parallel to each other.
One of the key benefits of wheel alignment is improved handling and stability.
