**Check the Axles**: First, make sure the axles are straight. Sometimes they can get bent. Use a straight edge or a ruler to see if they line up. If they're off, gently adjust them until they're straight.

**Wheel Spacing**: Make sure your wheels are spaced evenly on the axle. You can use washers or spacers to help with this. Just slide them on until the wheels are about the same distance from the chassis on both sides.

**Visual Alignment**: Put your car on a flat surface and roll it forward. Watch how the wheels move. If one side is dragging or wobbling, adjust that wheel until it rolls smoothly and straight.

**Use a Jig**: If you have one, a wheel alignment jig can be super helpful. Just place your car in it and follow the instructions to get everything lined up perfectly.
