Wheel Alignment in Washington, Utah
Hunter Hawkeye Elite Wheel Alignment in Washington UT — Serving St George, Hurricane & Southern Utah
MST Motorsports provides professional wheel alignment in Washington, Utah, for Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Ram, Jeep, Toyota, Honda and Nissan cars, trucks and SUVs, including lifted trucks and Jeeps, for drivers across St. George, Washington UT, Hurricane, and Ivins. Our factory-trained, certified technicians set every alignment on top-of-the-line Hunter HawkEye Elite alignment equipment, and qualifying automotive repairs are backed by our 36-month/36,000-mile nationwide warranty. Alignment protects tire life, steering feel and safe drivability, which matters on modified vehicles that see highway speeds during the week and loose terrain on the weekend.
We regularly perform alignments for offroad trucks, Jeeps and Broncos that have been driven hard, trucks running larger tires without geometry correction, and vehicles that had suspension work without a follow-up alignment. St. George drivers coming off I-15 with new tires, lifted Silverados out of Bloomington and Tacomas back from Sand Hollow all end up on the Hunter Hawkeye Elite rack. Our guide to what the speed of a steering wheel shake tells you separates tire, brake and geometry causes. UTV alignment for Polaris, Can-Am and Kawasaki side-by-sides is also available, and every alignment accounts for the full suspension geometry rather than toe alone.
Signs Your Vehicle Needs Alignment
A steering wheel that sits off-center, a pull to one side, uneven or feathered tire wear and a vague or wandering feel at highway speed are the common signs a vehicle needs alignment. On lifted Jeeps and trucks, bump steer, a sudden jerk in the steering over a bump, is usually caused by caster or steering geometry that was never corrected for the new ride height.
After suspension work, a tire size change or a hard hit on the trails around Sand Hollow, an alignment check is the right first step, and steering pull repair begins with the same measurements.
Post-Lift Alignment Correction
Post-lift alignment correction restores the caster, camber and toe that a lift kit changes, because lifting a vehicle shifts caster angles, pinion angles and the relationship between the steering linkage and suspension travel. Uncorrected geometry causes accelerated tire wear, poor steering return and, in some cases, death wobble or severe bump steer.
We perform post-lift alignment for St George, Washington and Hurricane drivers as a standard part of every lift kit installation we do. For vehicles that arrive with existing lifts, including spacer lifts and improperly installed kits, we correct the geometry and set caster, camber and toe for the actual ride height, tire size and intended use. An off-road alignment for a truck on 35-inch tires that runs Sand Hollow on weekends and I-15 during the week is set for both uses.
Caster Correction for Lifted Trucks
Caster correction for lifted trucks restores the three to five degrees of positive caster that factory trucks run, which is what gives steering its stability and return to center. Raising a truck on factory control arms drops caster while camber goes negative, and the result is a truck that wanders at highway speed on I-15, fails to return to center after a turn and wears the inner edge of the front tires.
A standard alignment works only within the adjustment range the existing hardware allows, and on lifts of three inches or more with factory control arms the geometry change often exceeds that range. Adjustable upper control arms restore the range, and we align trucks running aftermarket arms from Icon, Dirt King, Total Chaos and Camburg and install them as part of the service when the measurements call for it.
Lifted Truck Tire Wear Diagnosis
Lifted truck tire wear diagnosis identifies which alignment angle is ruining a set of off-road tires before their tread life is up. Inner-edge wear points to excessive negative camber, outer-edge wear to excessive positive camber, and feathering or scalloping to a toe problem, and Southern Utah's hot pavement accelerates every one of those patterns.
We diagnose which angle caused the wear, determine whether alignment alone can correct it or whether geometry correction has to come first, and set the alignment to limit future wear. The inspection also covers worn suspension components, because an alignment on a truck with a loose ball joint or tie rod end will not hold.
Vehicle-Specific Alignment Service
Trucks & SUVs
Ford F-150, Raptor, Super Duty, Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, Ram trucks, Toyota Tacoma, Tundra and 4Runner all benefit from alignment correction after a lift kit installation or tire size change. Heavy duty truck alignment for Super Duty, Silverado HD and Ram 2500 and 3500 tow vehicles from across Southern Utah protects towing stability and highway tracking on the grades into St. George.
Jeeps & Broncos
Jeep alignment correction for Wrangler JK, JL, Gladiator JT and Grand Cherokee, and alignment for the Ford Bronco and Bronco Raptor, follow the different approaches that solid axle and independent front suspension require. Caster correction is critical on lifted Jeeps and Broncos for safe steering behavior.
UTVs & Side-by-Sides
UTV alignment for Polaris RZR, Can-Am Maverick, Kawasaki KRX and other side-by-side platforms is performed by our Polaris, Can-Am and Kawasaki specialists, correcting the toe and steering alignment that affect tire wear, handling and steering effort. Our guide to what toe, camber and thrust angle control on a side-by-side covers the symptoms that point at each one. Machines that run Sand Hollow's rocky terrain regularly should have alignment checked as part of routine service.
Suspension Work & Alignment
Alignment is checked and corrected after any suspension modification, whether a lift kit, a spring change, a control arm upgrade or replacing worn ball joints, because any component that changes the wheel's position relative to the body changes the alignment. Even small changes cause significant tire wear over the long highway miles Southern Utah drivers put on.
Alignment verification is included with every suspension repair we perform on a truck, Jeep or UTV, so the vehicle tracks straight, handles correctly and protects its tires.
Hunter Hawkeye Elite Alignment System
Every wheel alignment at MST Motorsports is measured and set on top-of-the-line Hunter HawkEye Elite alignment equipment, from a stock daily driver to a caster-corrected lifted truck.
Every alignment includes a before/after printout of caster, camber, toe and thrust measurements. For lifted trucks running larger tires, alignment pairs with our Hunter Road Force balancer, which measures the wheel and tire assembly under load so a vibration is not mistaken for an alignment problem.

Suspension Services
Lift Kit Installation
Leveling kits through 6-inch and taller long-arm systems for trucks, Jeeps and Broncos, with geometry correction included in every install so the vehicle drives correctly at its new height.
Post-Lift Alignment
A lift changes the geometry, and caster, camber and toe are set on the Hunter Hawkeye Elite after every lift.
Shock Rebuild & Revalve
In-house rebuild and revalve for Fox, King, Elka, Walker Evans and Bilstein shocks, with valving matched to terrain, vehicle weight and riding style.
Death Wobble Repair
Jeep Wrangler death wobble is diagnosed at the source, including track bars, drag links, tie rods and ball joints, rather than treated at the symptom.
Suspension Geometry Correction
Caster correction, pinion angle and CV joint angle correction, the work that determines whether a modified vehicle lasts or wears out parts early.
UTV Suspension Tuning
A-arm replacement, shock setup and ride height calibration for Polaris, Can-Am and Kawasaki side-by-sides, set up for Southern Utah terrain.
What Alignment and Suspension Affect
Tire Wear
Misalignment wears tires out in thousands of miles rather than tens of thousands, and a ruined set of 35-inch tires is far more expensive than keeping the alignment correct.
Safety
Worn ball joints, tie rods, and track bars make handling unpredictable — particularly on lifted vehicles at highway speed on I-15, SR-9, and the Virgin River Gorge.
Performance
Correct suspension geometry lets the shocks, tires and drivetrain do their job, and a properly aligned lifted truck protects the investment already in the build.
