The ideal time to check your car's wheel alignment is at least once a year or every six months.Since, misaligned tires cause uneven tire wear and will give your car unstable and inconsistent dynamic handling characteristics. These can lead to a serious accident during emergency maneuvers

Does a front wheel drive car need and all wheel alignment?

Not necessarily, but it should be checked anyway. The front wheels on your car are referenced off the back 'trailing' axle so if the rear axle was off then the entire alignment is off. Older vehicles and many pickups are referenced off the ' driving' or 'fixed' rear axle but the rear axle is non-ajustable where as your cars is. This is a more precise way of alignment.

Does a front wheel drive car need back wheel alignment?

If it is out of specification the rear, yes. If it is in specification, no. Makes sense, doesn't it! Some cars have adjustable alignment angles in the rear, and do indeed call for a four-wheel alignment. On many cars, there are no rear adjustments, but the front wheels should be aligned with respect to the rear, what is properly called a thrust-angle alignment. Unfortunately, many shops are not careful with their terminology and use the term "four-wheel alignment" when they really mean "thrust-angle alignment." Even so, they usually correctly distinguish between cars that have alignable rear ends and those that don't, and price the job accordingly. As to whether your car has an alignable rear end, you'll need to refer to a shop manual to find out.


Does a 97 dodge stratus need a 4 wheel alignment?

A 1997 Dodge Stratus typically does not require a four-wheel alignment because it is a front-wheel-drive vehicle with a non-independent rear suspension. Generally, front-wheel-drive cars only need a front-wheel alignment. However, if there are issues with the rear suspension or if the vehicle has been involved in an accident, a four-wheel alignment may be beneficial. It's always best to consult a professional to assess the specific condition of your vehicle.
