Sensors on
A sensor clips onto each wheel.
Readings
The readings show which angles are out of the maker's specification.
Check parts
Steering and suspension parts are checked for wear, because worn parts won't hold an alignment.
Adjust
The tie rods and other adjusters are set until every reading is back in spec.
Test drive
A test drive confirms the car tracks straight with the steering wheel centered.
